England have recalled veteran pacer James Anderson in their playing eleven for the fourth Ashes 🔯Test versus Australia on Wednesday, July 19.
Their high﷽est wicket-taker in Test matches, with a tally of 686 scalps at an average of 26, was rested in the previous Test for workload man💞agement.
He i🙈s reinstated in the team, replacing Ollie Robinson, the second-h♒ighest wicket-taker (10) for the home side in the 2023 edition.
The Lancastrian pacer will return toܫ his home 👍venue Old Trafford, where he has a solid record- 37 scalps from 10 Tests.
England have decided to give Moeen Ali a long rope while batting at number three, as the all-rounder was slotted in that position to fill v𓄧ice-captain Ollie Pope’s void, who’s out of action because of a dislocated shoulder. Batting in that position, the southpaw scored five runs in 𓆉the second innings of the Leeds Test.
The Ben Stokes-led side is trailing the five-match Ashes series 2-1, and this is the lone change from the winning eleven in the third Test.
England XI, 4th Test, Old Trafford: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jonny Bairstow (wicketkeeper🅠), Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Stuart Broad, ꦗJames Anderson.
