Shane Warne has backed uncapped England leg-spinner Matt Parkinson to make an impact on the upcoming Ashes tour as he is "perfectly suited" to Australian conditions. "I think Parkinson is very, very good," said Warne. Warne will get a chance to see Parkinson in action during the Hundred, with the Lancashire bowler representing Manchester Originals. 'Ashes chat'Meanwhile, he is expecting some Ashes banter from England batsmen Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence, both of whom are in the Spirit squad. Meanwhile Warne believes he has found a kindred spirit in England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan, another member of the Spirit squad.
