• County season ‘takes precedence’ over coaching role
• ECB’s Gould calls on ICC to support Afghan women’s team

Jimmy Anderson has said turning out for Lancashire will take ­prece­dence over any coaching opportu­nities with England this summer after agreeing a new one-year contract to play in the County Championship and the T20 Blast.

The 42-year-old Anderson has been working as a consultant coach for England since his enforced ­retirement from Test cricket last ­summer and he will be part of ­Brendon ­McCullum’s backroom staff for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan next month.
