James Anderson and Stuart Broad have been dropped for England 's upcoming three Test series against the West Indies as the fallout from the Ashes continues.
Anderson and Broad are among eight players to have been axed from England's Ashes squad, along with Jos Buttler, Rory Burns, Dawid Malan, Haseeb Hameed, Dom Bess and Sam Billings.
While the decisions to drop those six were largely expected, the axing of Anderson and Broad is both a shocking and bold move from an interim selection committee consisting of Sir Andrew Strauss, Paul Collingwood, James Taylor and Root.
