England Test captain Ben Stokes has revealed veteran seamers James Anderson and Stuart Broad have "got their eyes set" on next year's Ashes, shutting down suggestions the third and final Test against South Africa could be their last on home soil.
Anderson turned 40 earlier this summer, while Broad will celebrate his 37th birthday during the Ashes. However, the pair have played key roles in England's resurgence this summer under Stokes and Brendon McCullum, with Anderson taking 24 wickets in six Tests and Broad picking up 22.
And Stokes feels the duo are experiencing "a new lease of life in the dressing room" and will not be retiring any time soon. "I honestly just can't see a point where they decide it's time for them to step away," he said.
