England bowling coach David Saker has revealed that Staurt Broad and Jimmy Anderson could be rested for the third Test against the West Indies.
Andrew Strauss's team secured a series victory with a win over the Windies at Trent Bridge and England's opening bowlers could now be rested with an eye on South Africa's visit later this summer.
Saker said: "There's no doubt Anderson and Broad will want to play – it gives them more chance of taking Test wickets.
"But if they have a Test off here and there, in my opinion, it probably gives them the chance to play longer. Those wickets can be picked up later because their careers will be longer. So there are two ways of looking at it.
"We'll probably give it two or three days, and Andy and the selectors will sit down and ask whether it is the right thing to do. We have a lot of hard cricket ahead, Tests and one-dayers, and we need to make a decision for the good of English cricket."
The third Test begins at Edgbaston next Thursday.
