Vaughan: Selectors had a shocker not picking Anderson
Former England captain Michael Vaughan says the decision not to pick James Anderson for the first Test against Pakistan was 鈥渟illy鈥�.
England鈥檚 all-time leading Test wicket taker was left out over fitness concerns but then went on to play for county Lancashire, taking 3-58 in 22 overs of work.
Vaughan added: "The captain and the coach wanted him to play but the medical staff said no. It's a selection problem".
England lost the match by 75 runs.
