Now, the 39-year-old is expected to be given rest in order to keep him fresh for the upcoming season of cricket. In an interview, England’s bowling coach revealed that James Anderson is getting older and they don’t want him to get injured. As per him, at the age of 39 it is not good to make him play back to back games for long.

“What I don’t want to do is break them. We’ve got a lot of cricket in front of us. The Tests are coming thick and fast now. Back-to-back, it is difficult,” said England head coach Chris Silverwood to the media while pointing out the workload of his two new-ball bowlers, Anderson and Ollie Robinson.

He asserted that every player in current situation is giving his best. Meanwhile, it is board responsibility to take care of players.

“These guys are giving everything, every day when we are out on the field and we have got to make sure we are looking after them. But I won’t be making any decisions or judgments right now,” he added.
