London, Nov 29 (Ians) Veteran England pace bowler Jimmy Anderson is eagerly looking forward to the historic Test series in Pakistan, saying his teammates are “just chomping at the bit” of an exciting challenge in the sub-continent.
The opening Test will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from December 1, which will be followed by matches in Multan and Karachi. The Ben Stokes-led England are touring Pakistan for the first time in 17 years and the 40-year-old Anderson is the only member of the squad to have toured the country before, in 2005, but he only featured in tour matches and ODIs.
Pakistan is the only cricket-playing country where the veteran quick — the highest wicket-taking pace bowler in the world — has yet to play a Test during his more than two decades of professional cricket.

London, Sep 27 (Ians) Former Australia skipper Ian Chappell has said including both “ageing” pace bowling stalwarts, James Anders and Stuart Broad for England’s away Test tours, would be a mistake, given that they are best suited for home conditions.
The pace bowling duo, following their unimpressive performances — or the lack of opportunities they got on the Ashes tour late last year and early this year under Joe Root — were dropped from the England Test side that toured the West Indies following the 0-4 Ashes debacle.
But with a new setup in place in England cricket, with coach Brendon Mccullum and skipper Ben Stokes at the helm, the two ageing warhorses — who were staring at an uncertain future following the Ashes series — were back in favour.
The two have played a pivotal role in England winning six of the seven Tests at home since their return, and Anderson — the highest...
