JACK LEACH was so ill he
thought he was going to die
while on tour in New Zealand.
And for good reason as the
England spinner fought sepsis in a
Kiwi hospital before flying home
last November.
Leach suffers from Crohn’s
disease, which affects his immune
system, so when a bout of
gastroenteritis in the first Test gave
way to sepsis, a type of blood
poisoning, his life was in danger.
“I didn’t know too much about it
at the time, how serious it could
be,” said Leach, 28. “But I remember
feeling very, very ill. I remember

keeping the Ashes hero of
Headingley (above, with Ben
Stokes) off the field until the second
warm-up match next Thursday, but
he is expected to play in both Tests
after his 18-wicket haul in three
matches here in 2018.
And as the most senior spinner
in the squad this time with both
Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid unavail-
able, England will hope he can set
the standards for Dom Bess and
Matt Parkinson to follow this time.
“I look back with fond memories
on the last tour,” recalled Leach. “It
was nice to be part of that with Mo
and Adil. I learned a lot from them.
“It’s a different spin group this
time, but I’ve got some ideas that
helped me that I’ll be passing on to
the boys. It’s going to be good fun.”
was one of the hardest hit by
different viruses that swept
through the squad.
And that is why he feels almost
relieved to be in Sri Lanka now
where coronavirus cases are sig-
nificantly lower than in the UK.
“I picked up a couple of things
out in South Africa and my body
couldn’t cope,” he added.
“Other people got ill, but I
struggled to fight it off as well as a
healthy person. The medication I’m
on for Crohn’s weakens my immune
system, so it is more of a struggle
and I guess I am a little bit more
concerned than others.
“I’ve been nervous in England,
but I feel fine here, I must do the
right things and keep my fingers
crossed.” A calf niggle looks like
thinking, ‘Don’t fall asleep because
you might not wake up’. It was that
serious in terms of how I was
feeling. I was out of it.
“That’s when they called an
ambulance and got me to hospital.
Once I got there, got the antibiotics
in my arm and on to a drip, I started
to feel better.
“But it still took a few nights in
hospital and I was probably still
recovering when I flew back from
New Zealand. It took longer to get
over than I thought.
“You can start to feel fine in
general, but playing high-level
sport is completely different and
that’s probably something I didn’t
think about enough.”

the coronavirus outbreak
is causing increasing alarm
and the knock-on effect to
sporting events is likely to
be significant with the
olympics under threat of
postponement or
rescheduling.

set in Japan, having
won bronze in London and
silver in Rio (above). the
team GB star is concerned
about the threat to the
Games, but says: “Some
things are more
important than sport
- this is affecting a
lot of people.
“I’m training for
the olympics as
though it’s going on, but
should the situation arise
that it needs to be moved, I
trust they would give us
enough notice to cater our
schedules to fit it.”
Muhammad remembers
the Zika virus scare before
the 2016 Games and there
not being a problem in Rio.
“I hope this is similar,” he
added. “that we get to

trouble for
ferrari & fia
By Matt Maltby
RIVAL teams have expressed “shock” at the
FIA’s private settlement with Ferrari after an
investigation into their 2019 engine.
The teams had raised concerns about the
Italian outfit’s level of superiority in straight-
line speed. And last week, the FIA announced
they had “reached a settlement” with Ferrari
after a long-running technical investigation.
And Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren, Renault,
Racing Point, Alpha Tauri and Williams have
released an identical statement, saying: “We
share commitment to pursue full and proper
disclosure in this matter, to ensure our sport
treats all competitors equally.”konta off the mark

JO KONTA lavished
praise on Kim Clijsters
after claiming her first
win since the US Open.
The British No.1’s
season was
ended by a knee
injury after New
york and she
had lost her first
three matches this
y e a r.
But Konta found her
old form to beat the
four-time Grand Slam
champion 6-3 7-5 at the
Monterrey Open in
Mexico. Clijsters, 36, is
making her second
comeback after first
retiring in 2007 and
then again in 2012.
Konta (left) said: “As
a young player, I
never thought I’d
get to play Kim
in my career, I
feel truly
honoured to
share the court with
such a champion.
“It’s nice to have her
back. It was very
tough.” Former world
No.1 Clijsters said:
“Some things still need
a lot of improvement.”formula one shock settlement
