When Mason Crane was let go by Hampshire it was felt that he couldn’t have an impact across the formats as they would’ve hoped.

The English spinner’s role which has been much more emphasised in the last six months when Will Jacks was preferred in The Ashes to Shoaib Bashir, the man who England invested an incredible amount of effort into, ignoring comments from the outside cricket world. At Hampshire, it was Felix Organ portrayed Will Jacks while Crane was his inferior, Shoaib Bashir. In fitting fashion, on return to the Utilita Bowl the leg-spinner took 6 for 79 across two innings, going at just over two runs per over. Organ however, 1 for 143 from 33 toiling overs before getting the prize wicket of Kiran Carlson 209 runs too late.
