Think he burnt his bridges with Stokes et al. Wasn't Leach the leading wicket taker (Tests) in the world for 2022?

He was never that good in Tests anyway. Would rather have Moeen Leach was third in the world last year (but at an average of almost 40). Rabada and (more worryingly) Lyon were above him
