England has made a single change to their lineup for the second Test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge, recalling fast bowler Mark Wood to replace the recently retired James Anderson.
His inclusion strengthens England’s pace attack for the upcoming match, which already features Gus Atkinson, Chris Woakes, Matthew Potts, Ben Stokes and Dillon Pennington.
Veteran fast-bowler James Anderson bowed out of international cricket on a high as England thrashed the West Indies by an innings and 114 runs on Day 3 of the first Test at the iconic Lord’s here on Friday.
Anderson, who is set to feature in his 188th and final Test against West Indies at Lord’s this week will bow out as the most-prolific fast bowler in Test history, having taken his 700th wicket, on the tour of India in March this year.
The 40-year-old pacer achieved the landmark during the second Test between England and South Africa in Manchester.
James Anderson was also seen speaking about Jofra Archer who had alleged that he was racially abused by a spectator during a match in New Zealand.
Rabada is one of the finest pacers in the modern-day game.
Earlier, several other England players including Stuard Broad, Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes also took part in training sessions.
Despite his impressive numbers and the fact that he could be a nightmare for batsmen, this Pakistan cricketer Shan Masood has stated that he is eager to take on Bumrah.
Anderson has claimed 584 wickets in 151 Test matches for England. He is the fast bowler with the highest wickets against his name in the format.
