The cricketing calendar has suffered because of the Corona Virus. All cricketing activities in England have been suspended since mid-March due to the same. We didn’t see any games for a period of over 2 months. All the cricketers are were stuck indoors due to the lockdown. On Monday, veteran England pacer James Anderson shared his thoughts on being back after being involved in individual training.
England’s team training is positive news for everyone as it indicates the resumption of Cricket. Anderson took to social media and shared a video of himself training and running at the Old Trafford in Manchester. In the video, the pacer is seen steaming into and bowling deliveries. Anderson captioned the post with, “I’ve missed this place! Slowly easing through the gears but enjoying being back.”
Anderson’s bowling partner Stuart Broad noticed the post. He came up with a cheeky commented on the Instagram post and commented with, “Tight Shorts.”
