MUMBAI (Reuters) - James Anderson finds England's rotation policy frustrating at times but the country's all-time leading wicket-taker says he also sees the bigger picture given the team's packed schedule.

England are scheduled to play 17 tests this year, apart from the Twenty20 World Cup and other limited-overs fixtures, and have rotated players to help them bear the toll of spending time inside biosecure bubbles as part of COVID-19 protocols.
