London, July 18: James Anderson will replace Ollie Robinson as England has announced their playing XI for the fourth Ashes Test be played at the Old Trafford, starting from Wednesday.“Lancashire seamer James Anderson replaces Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson from the side that defeated Australia in the third Test at Headingley last week,” ECB said in a statement.
Earlier this week, Ollie Robinson has declared his availability for the fourth Ashes test despite getting injured in the team’s win over Australia in the third match of the series last week.
Robinson sent down just 11.2 overs at Headingley before suffering a back spasm. While he had a six-ball cameo with the bat and fielded in Australia’s second innings, he did not bowl again.
England has also shown its faith in Jonny Bairstow by keeping the wicketkeeper for the fourth Ashes Test.
