James Anderson opens up to Eddie Hearn about long-term future after England axing

James Anderson has reiterated his desire to win his place back in England 's Test team this summer after he and long-time bowling partner Stuart Broad were controversially dropped after the Ashes.

Anderson and Broad were axed for England's ongoing tour of the West Indies, with interim managing director Sir Andrew Strauss saying it was "important to look at some exciting new bowling potential and give some added responsibility to other players who have featured previously." He also emphasised the decision "does not mean the end" for the duo's Test careers.

Anderson broke his silence on his omission last month on his BBC Tailenders podcast, admitting his "frustration and anger" at the decision. He also stated that he still has the "hunger and passion" to play for England.
