Anderson set to mentor England’s quicks after Test exit

By Redoy K

James Anderson, England’s leading Test wicket-taker, will retire after the first Test against West Indies at Lord’s but will join the team’s backroom staff as a fast-bowling mentor. England has included three uncapped players in their squad for the series, with Jamie Smith selected as wicketkeeper. The England cricket management is also reviewing the positions of white-ball captain Jos Buttler and coach Matthew Mott following recent poor performances in T20 and ODI World Cups. Source AFP
