And the selectors have opted for the experience of Anderson instead of a more obvious like for like replacement such as Dimitri Mascarenhas. England play Zimbabwe in their first match next Thursday, and then face a showdown with Australia 24 hours later. Anderson has enjoyed a successful summer, taking 14 wickets in three Tests against india and 17 in limited overs internationals.
