Former England captain Michael Vaughan has claimed that dropping both James Anderson and Stuart Broad for the Test series against the West Indies is "smart".
Despite being England's two leading wicket-takers of all time, with 1,177 Test scalps between them, England have left them out of their squad for their first post-Ashes Test series.
Sir Andrew Strauss said the pair had been dropped as they felt it was "important to look at some exciting new bowling potential and give some added responsibility to other players who have featured previously."
