The 35-year-old has 540 wickets in 138 Tests. With the five-match Test series due to start against India in August, England's all-time leading wicket-taker will be looking to prove his fitness ahead of the series.

Anderson has not played since the second Test victory over Pakistan on June 3.

Anderson will be 36 when the five-Test series against India begins, Broad 32, and England has to allow for the possibility of their not being around next summer for the Ashes.
