England’s Anderson says will ‘definitely’ be ready for Ashes opener

The Hindu  

England fast bowler James Anderson says he has recovered from a groin injury and will be fit for the first Ashes Test against Australia next month. England’s leading bowler in Tests with 685 wickets, Anderson suffered the injury playing for Lancashire last week. “Yes, definitely,” Anderson, 40, told the Telegraph newspaper on Wednesday when asked if he would be fit for the opener against Australia at Edgbaston on June 16. I am in the squad for the Ireland Test but we have to make a call on that nearer to the time.” Anderson’s availability is crucial for England, who are already without injured fast bowler Jofra Archer.
