Andy Flower defends the decision to leave James Anderson out of the squad for the third Test against the West Indies.

Andy Flower has revealed that England will continue to rotate their players despite the controversy regarding James Anderson's omission from the squad to face the West Indies this week.

England's head coach believes that players must be given a chance to rest in order to help extend their international careers.

Flower said: "The days of us playing our players until they either wear down significantly or snap physically or mentally, those days are over.

"We think it our responsibility to manage things better than that. Our duty is to make decisions in their interests and the interests of the team.

"Over the next couple of years the schedule is incredibly heavy - so it is not only going to be Anderson, [Stuart] Broad, [Tim] Bresnan who are going to be our bowlers used."

Former Engalnd captain Sir Ian Botham has voiced his anger at the England selectors for leaving Anderson out for the third Test.
