No Anderson for first Test

Fast bowler James Anderson was left out as England named an unchanged 16-man squad on Tuesday for their five-Test series against India.

Anderson had already been ruled out of next month's opening Test in Rajkot as he is recovering from a shoulder problem.

The 34-year-old was forced to miss England's ongoing series in Bangladesh, but could join the squad for the remaining four Tests of the India tour.

England are also without paceman Mark Wood but they elected not to draft in another seamer, leaving the squad unchanged from the series with Bangladesh.

Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes, Steven Finn and Jake Ball are the pace bowlers in the squad, with Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Gareth Batty and Zafar Ansari supplying spin.

England begin their series against India on November 9.
