(Reuters) - Fast bowler Mark Wood will take James Anderson's spot in the England squad for next week's second test against West Indies at Trent Bridge, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Saturday.
Anderson, 41, retired on Friday after finishing his 188th test, having taken 704 wickets in a career spanning 21 years - the third-highest wicket taker in the format, as England beat West Indies by an innings and 114 runs at Lord's.
