A big news has come out before this match to be played between the two teams. James Anderson, who retired from international cricket in the last match, will still be with the team. Let us tell you, just 4 days after retirement, he has got a big responsibility in the England cricket team.

James Anderson got this big responsibility

Right-arm fast bowler James Anderson has joined the England team as a bowling mentor for the remaining two matches of the Test series.

However, the board will decide later on whether he will continue in this role with the team or not. The second Test match will be played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, he has also been seen with the team players here. When he entered the field in a new role for England, he was welcomed with applause by the team players and coaching colleagues.

Started working with Brendon McCullum

He started his new role by helping Brendon McCullum in the slip cordon drills. He spent time with fast bowlers Mark Wood and Dillon Pennington.

Anderson is the only fast bowler to take more than 700 wickets in Test cricket. It is believed that he may get the responsibility of bowling coach and mentor in the Test team for a long time, as England has appointed separate coaches and captains for the red and white ball.

Career ended with 704 Test wickets
