Veteran seamer James Anderson is still addicted to cricket at 40 and only getting better with age, his strike partner Stuart Broad said, with the prolific England pair expected to play key roles as they enter their ninth Ashes campaign.

Anderson appears to be improving with time and has shown no signs of losing his edge. He is England's leading bowler in tests with 685 wickets and became the oldest player to top the ICC test rankings earlier this year.

"Jimmy's incredibly competitive. That's his number one strength," Broad said on the Legends of the Ashes podcast, a 10-part series from Global launching on June 15. "That's showing now, he's 40 and he's probably bowling better now than he was four years ago. It's an incredible testament to himself and the game."

Although the "Bazball" style of play under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum that has taken England to 10 wins from 12 tests relies predominantly on aggressive batting, they need wickets to back it up.
