England has called up James Anderson, 40, for the upcoming fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Anderson recalled by England for Ashes: In the upcoming fourth Ashes Test against Australia at Old Trafford on Wednesday, England has made a lone change in the lineup, replacing Ollie Robinson. This alteration comes after England’s victory in the third Test, which narrowed Australia’s series advantage to 2-1 with two matches remaining.
Harry Brook can stay at number five because Moeen Ali will bat at position three, much like he did in the second innings at Headingley.
The selectors benched Anderson for the third Test after he managed to collect just three wickets for 226 runs in the first two games of the series, despite holding the record for the third-most Test wickets of all time.
To regain the Ashes, England must triumph in the two remaining Test matches, as they haven’t claimed the prestigious trophy since 2015. The upcoming games hold the key to their chances of success.
Australia only needs one more victory to secure a series win in England for the first time since 2001, marking a significant milestone for the team.
