Jimmy Anderson has now played Test cricket under eight England captains and six head coaches but says none compare with the current regime under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum by way of mentality.
After sitting out the third Test against New Zealand with a “puffy ankle”, Anderson is in contention to face India at Edgbaston on Friday for the completion of last summer’s Covid-affected series. Both sides are under new management and India sit 2-1 up, even if Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli’s successor as captain, is a doubt after testing positive for the virus last Sunday. Jasprit Bumrah could deputise.
