London, Oct 2 (IANS) England fast bowler James Anderson is disappointed to be left out of the England squad for the ODI against India as he feels he has a point to prove on the slow wickets.
Anderson will not travel for the forthcoming five One-day series against India after England selectors chose to rest the fast bowler.
Anderson, who did not have a successful World Cup in the sub-continent, feels he would have liked to prove that he can do as well on the Indian wickets
‘Three months will be a good time for me to rest, but also get in the gym and get strong for what is going to be a tough year,’ Anderson was quoted as saying in espncricinfo.
‘(But) I didn’t have a successful World Cup (in India) and it’d be nice to prove I can actually bowl on those wickets.
Anderson also feels his absence could threaten his place in the strong England squad.
‘There’s so much competition, that’s another reason for wanting to go on tour. It’s healthy for the squad, in the Test series we’ve seen that the guys who come in do exceptionally well. But it keeps you on your toes as a bowler,’ he said.
