BREAKING: England’s greatest wicket-taker Jimmy Anderson is out of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba with a calf complaint – the same type of injury that ruined his 2019 campaign.

There had been some queries over whether Anderson would play the first Test in Brisbane, as it was never likely that at the age of 39 he would be asked to take part in all five matches of the series.

The fact that the final Test of the series has been moved out of Perth and will now be a second pink-ball game in the eastern states – in Hobart, Melbourne or Sydney – will also have forced England to rethink how they use Anderson across the five matches. Without Anderson, England will be left to choose between Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson, Stuart Broad and Jack Leach for their four full-time bowlers, in addition to the all-round skills of Ben Stokes.
