    James Anderson likely to feature against Proteas: Details here

    What's the story

    Veteran England pacer James Anderson has been out of the side since August this year after he suffered an injury while training for the Ashes.

    While he will be out of action in the ongoing New Zealand tour as well, he is racing against time to be fit for the South Africa tour in December.

    Meanwhile, the England team management has expressed its confidence.

    Recovery

    Anderson expected to recover in time before Boxing Day Test

    As per reports, Anderson has more or less recovered for the calf strain he suffered and is likely to resume training at the camp in Potchefstroom, two weeks prior to the tour.

    He is also likely to feature in the two warm-up ties, following which, depending on his performance, he could also be included in the side for the Boxing Day Test in Centurion.

    Quote

    Jimmy is going out to Potchefstroom. We're hopeful: Managing Director

    "Jimmy is going out to Potchefstroom. We're hopeful. We think he is on track, which is great. The medical team is happy. The older you get these things to linger longer. We felt no point forcing it for this short tour," said Ashley Giles.

    Green top

    Giles expects green top in South Africa this term

    Giles also said that he expects South Africa to come up with a good bowling contest and are likely to prepare tracks with green tops.

    "I think they'll be green and they'll go for a bowler war and take us on. It's not something I'd take on with Jofra Archer and Jimmy Anderson, but it will be an exciting series," he added, reports BBC.

    Anderson in SA

    Anderson has had an average performance in South Africa
