James Anderson will join the England coaching set-up as a fast-bowling mentor when he retires from Test cricket at Lord’s next week.
James Anderson will join the England coaching set-up as a fast-bowling mentor when he retires from Test cricket against West Indies at Lord’s next week.
Anderson, who has taken 700 Test wickets, is currently playing for Lancashire against Nottinghamshire in the County Championship at Southport. Key described Smith, 23, as a “rare talent”. The right-hander has a first-class batting average in excess of 40 and has been averaging more than 50 in the County Championship this season, but usually plays for Surrey as a specialist batter, with Foakes taking the gloves.
"Generally his form, in all formats, has just been going slightly in the wrong direction," added Key. In Somerset’s ongoing Championship match against Warwickshire, left-armer Leach has been preferred to Bashir, but Key said Leach will be England’s second spinner in the immediate future.
