England has named Mark Wood as James Anderson's replacement for the upcoming second Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Wood, who was rested during Anderson's farewell Test, returns after his T20 World Cup stint. The decision aims to provide Wood with a smoother transition from T20 to Test cricket. Additionally, Gus Atkinson's impressive debut performance and the potential inclusion of Jofra Archer highlight England's pace options. Meanwhile, Anderson's retirement marks the end of an illustrious career, with plans for him to mentor England's bowlers, potentially leading into the Ashes in late 2025.
