BIRMINGHAM (England): Veteran seamer James Anderson will replace Jamie Overton for England in the rescheduled fifth Test against India at Edgbaston, the team said on Thursday.
Anderson, England’s record wicket-taker in Test cricket, missed the third Test against New Zealand with an ankle injury.
His duel with India stalwart Virat Kohli will be an interesting sub-plot of the match.
With Ben Foakes recovering from Covid-19, Kent’s Sam Billings was retained as the wicketkeeper for the match beginning on Friday.
India are 2-1 up in the series which could not be completed last year because of Covid-19 cases in the India camp before the final match at Old Trafford.
England XI: Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (captain), Sam Billings (wicketkeeper), Matthew Potts, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach, James Anderson.
