James Anderson may miss Ireland test to be fit for Ashes against Australia, England star recovering from injury
James Anderson knows he might need to sit out of England’s first Test of the summer if he is to be fit for the Ashes opener against Australia at Edgbaston. The country’s record wicket-taker has been included in the squad for next month’s one-off Test match against Ireland, despite pulling up with a groin injury during Lancashire’s County Championship clash with Somerset last week. Ad Scans have shown the problem to be mild and the England and Wales Cricket Board say Anderson will be “assessed nearer the time” of the Ireland fixture.
