Brendon McCullum backs James Anderson and Stuart Broad to continue for a "few years"

England Test coach Brendon McCullum believes veteran seamers James Anderson and Stuart Broad "have still got a lot to offer in the next few years" and hopes they will not be retiring anytime soon

The pair were controversially dropped for the tour of the West Indies in March, but were immediately recalled this summer and have been absolutely outstanding. Anderson has picked up 27 wickets at an average of 17.66, while Broad has taken 29 at 27.17.

At the age of 40, Anderson says he has "smiled more than I ever have on a cricket field" this summer, while captain Ben Stokes has revealed the duo have their "eyes set" on next year's Ashes.
