Jimmy Anderson is still hurting from his England snub, and admits he still can’t understand the decision to leave him out of the Test series against the West Indies.
The Lancashire seamer, and fellow opening bowler Stuart Broad, were both controversially left out of the squad as part of a ‘red ball’ reset following the shocking Ashes defeat in Australia over the winter.
Two months on, the decision is still raw for Anderson - England’s leading Test wicket-taker - and is just as baffling to the 39-year-old as when interim managing director Andrew Strauss broke the news to him in a five-minute phone call in February.
