England announced their playing 11 for the second test match

A three-match Test series is being played between England and West Indies. The England team has won the first match of this series. The second match of the series will be played from July 18. In this match, the West Indies team will try to make a comeback. On the other hand, the England team will want to win the series by winning this match. Meanwhile, the England team has announced its playing 11 for the second match of the series. England's star bowler James Anderson announced his retirement after the first match of the series. In such a situation, the team has made a change in his place.

This player will replace James Anderson in the second test

Star fast bowler James Anderson had announced before the series that he would play against West Indies after the first match against St Le Star. That is why an additional player was included in the England team for this series. Only one change has been made in the second bowler of the series, in which Mark Wood has now been included in place of St Anderson. At the same time, only one spinner has been included in the English team. This will be the first time that England will play a home Test without Anderson or Stuart Broad. The last time either of them played against England was against West Indies in Birmingham in 2012 and now it is happening again against West Indies.

Anderson is with the team in the new role of bowling mentor after his last Test match for England. England managing director Rob Key had confirmed that 41-year-old Anderson will remain with the England team throughout the summer. Rob Key said before the first Test that he has a lot to give to English cricket. We don't want to see him go. He was keen when we asked him. He will have a lot of options.
