James Anderson and Stuart Broad will be part of the squad for next year's Ashes series against Australia, coach Brendon McCullum said.

Anderson, 40, and Broad, 36, were part of the England squad that suffered a 0-4 defeat in Australia in the last Ashes, and both were then omitted from the three-match series in West Indies where England lost 0-1.

Broad and Anderson returned to the squad under the new leadership, helping the team win six of their seven Tests this summer. "Yeah, they'll be here," McCullum told reporters when asked if they would be in his Ashes squad. "They're both smiling.
