Ashes Series: Beginning today, July 27th, the final Test of the Ashes series will be played between England and Australia. For this reason, England has announced its playing eleven, which includes James Anderson, who is struggling with form. Even after being in subpar form, Anderson’s inclusion in the starting lineup is being questioned. Now, the captain of the England team, Ben Stokes, has given a fitting response to the critics while expressing complete support for James Anderson.
Ben Stokes appeared to support Anderson
Ben Stokes stated, in defense of the criticized James Anderson, that Anderson has not yet retired. He will perform a role for the team in the future. He is the best quick bowler ever. He has impact and is adept at taking wickets. His performance in the current season has fallen short of expectations, but he is still one of the finest actors.

James Anderson was unsuccessful in the Ashes series
The current Ashes series has not been particularly beneficial for James Anderson. He has only claimed four wickets in six innings across three Tests. This is why concerns are being raised about his continued access to opportunities. James Anderson has claimed 689 wickets in Test cricket with an average of 26.29 over the course of 182 matches. These numbers are sufficient to demonstrate his grandeur.
