    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, May 26:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Veteran England fast bowler James Anderson, who has started training again, is enjoying being back on the cricket field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Monday, Anderson posted a video of himself on Instagram in which he can be seen running in and then delivering the ball at the Old Trafford.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;ve missed this place! Slowly easing through the gears but enjoying being back,&quot; Anderson wrote as the caption.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England players resumed their training last week as the country plans for a return of international cricket which has remained suspended since mid-March following the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England were on their tour of Sri Lanka when all cricketing activities came to a grinding halt due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus. All professional cricket activities currently remain suspended there till July 1 and the England team are next slated to play West Indies and thereafter Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anderson recently said his teammates will have to motivate each other when cricket resumes, and in all likelihood, in front of empty stands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We&#39;re lucky (in England) that most Test matches are sold out, certainly the first few days, we get big crowds so motivating yourself isn&#39;t an issue,&quot; Anderson told CNN Sport&#39;s Amanda Davies via Instagram Live.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You just get out there in front of a packed house and it&#39;s quite easy to get up for a game. I think we might have to lean on each other as players if there&#39;s no crowd there, no atmosphere, we hear the sound of leather on willow echoing around the ground rather than the applause,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the post-COVID era, cricket will see a number of changes amongst which one would be the ban on usage of saliva to shine the ball as has been recommended by the ICC Cricket Committee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a massive thing for me because to get the ball to swing, you need to be able to polish the ball and repair it when it gets scuffs on it,&quot; said Anderson who is England&#39;s leading wicket-taker in Test cricket and One-Day Internationals.<\/p>\r\n",
