Amidst the gloom of Jofra Archer getting ruled out of the English summer, there is some good news for the Three Lions. 

James Anderson, who sustained a groin injury during a county game, is likely to be available for the Ashes series, which starts on June 16. 

While talking to BBC's Tailenders podcast, the 40-year-old pacer said he expects to return to competitive cricket in a couple of weeks.

“It’s obviously not great getting injured, but it’s probably the best outcome for what it is because it’s a low-grade thing. I think in a couple of weeks, I’ll be back to full fitness,” said Anderson.

England's leading wicket-taker also added that he is trying to avoid a similar situation from 2019 when he got injured on Day 1 of the first Ashes Test.
