Anderson out of first Test

AFP,  LONDON: England’s all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson was ruled out of a 12-man squad announced Thursday for next week's first Test against Pakistan at Lord’s.
Anderson, 33, has not recovered from a right shoulder injury sustained in the third Test against Sri Lanka last month -- a three-match series England won 2-0.
The Lancashire paceman's place in the squad has been taken by uncapped Middlesex seamer Toby Roland-Jones. He will now be pushing for a Test debut on his Lord's home ground alongside Nottinghamshire quick Jake Ball, in the squad for the Sri Lanka series but also yet to make his maiden Test appearance.
