India's refusal to play Manchester Test denied James Anderson a final hurrah: David Lloyd

Local hero James Anderson was gearing up to play his 167th Test but the series finale was called off just a couple of hours before the toss at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Former cricketer-turned-broadcaster David Lloyd thinks James Anderson might not get a chance to play at his home ground in Manchester ever again after the fifth and final Test between England and India got cancelled and eventually postponed indefinitely due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the visiting camp. 39-year-old Anderson was gearing up to play his 167th Test but the match was called off just a couple of hours before the toss at Old Trafford after Indian team physio Yogesh Parmar became the fourth support staff member to test positive for coronavirus on Thursday night.
