England fast bowler James Anderson has been called into his country's squad for the T20 series against South Africa as cover for Steven Finn.
Anderson has not played for England in the shortest form of the game since his look against South Africa in a match at Centurion in November 2009.
The 30-year-old is not part of the England squad for the ICC World Twenty20 match which starts in Sri Lanka later this month.
But Finn missed the final ODI against the Proteas in Nottingham on Wednesday after being in a weak place by a stiff back and that persuaded the selectors to draft in Anderson.
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed the news of Anderson call-up in a statement James Anderson has been called into the squad for the Twenty20 series against South Africa as cover for Steven Finn who has a stiff back.
England face South Africa in three T20 internationals, the 1st is at Durham on Saturday, the 2nd at Old Trafford on Monday and the 3rd at Edgbaston on Wednesday
