England told picking both James Anderson and Stuart Broad away from home is a "mistake"

Legendary Australia captain Ian Chappell says picking James Anderson and Stuart Broad in the same team "anywhere but in England is a mistake".

The pair are the two most successful seamers in the history of Test cricket, with Anderson taking 667 wickets and Broad picking up 566. However, with Anderson now 40 and Broad 36, Chappell believes England can no longer afford to select them both away from home.

In his latest column for ESPNcricinfo, Chappell gave his thoughts on the progress England have made under the new captain and coach combination of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. While Chappell is a fan of Stokes' leadership, he is interested to see how they fare playing outside of the "more comfortable environment of home".
