England’s Anderson targets return to full fitness for Ashes

The Hindu  

England’s James Anderson said he is expecting to return from his groin injury in “a couple of weeks” but the veteran fast bowler will not aim for a comeback for the one-off Test against Ireland so that he can be fully fit in time for the Ashes. The 40-year-old is England’s leading bowler in tests, with 685 wickets, and is crucial to its chances after fellow pacer Jofra Archer was ruled out of the Ashes with an elbow injury. “I felt like I needed to play this game so it’s not ideal, but I’m not stressed about it.” Anderson said he is trying to avoid a similar situation from 2019 when he pulled up injured on day one of the first Test against Australia. “I’m just taking it day by day and seeing how it goes because obviously I don’t want to risk anything by making it worse,” Anderson added.
