James Anderson is in line to equal Alastair Cook’s all-time appearance record for England in Tests (161) if the pacer features against New Zealand at Lord’s tomorrow.
Speaking about the 38-year-old, Ben Stokes wrote in his column in The Mirror:
Ben Stokes, meanwhile, is set to miss the upcoming two Tests due to a finger injury he suffered during IPL 2021. The all-rounder has resumed light training and gym work, but there is no fixed timeline on his return.
“I am blown away by his ability to get on the park as many times”- Ben Stokes on James Anderson
Ben Stokes can’t fathom how James Anderson is still going strong in Test cricket despite being a fast bowler. The all-rounder lauded Anderson for his undying commitment and passion to comeback from various injuries and setbacks.
With Jofra Archer also unavailable, there is a good chance that England can play James Anderson and Stuart Broad together for the upcoming two-match Test series against the Blackcaps. The duo have 1131 Test wickets to their name.
