England has begun their post Ashes debacle shake-up in a very different way. The legendary pace bowling duo James Anderson and Stuart Broad are the first casualties when they announced their squad for the tour to the West Indies. England has already dismissed Ashley Giles, Chris Silverwood, and Graham Thorpe in the weeks following the Ashes. However, now many of the playing squad are set to suffer the same fate as an effect of the Ashes loss by a huge margin.

England has left out their most experienced bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad out of their squad for the tour of the West Indies. With the majority of the backroom staff sacked after England's 4-0 loss against Australia. An interim panel made up of Andrew Strauss, interim head coach Paul Collingwood and Head Scout James Taylor. Meanwhile, they will be making decisions in regards to the touring party.
As we know both Anderson and Broad are in the final days of their career. The trio has decided to swing the ax and push the team in a new direction. In addition to Broad and Anderson, Jos Buttler has also been axed from the squad. Last week, England dispensed the services of Managing Director Ashley Giles, Head Coach and Selector Chris Silverwood, and Assistant Coach Graham Thorpe.
In Buttler's absence, Ben Foakes has received a recall while Matthew Fisher, Alex Lees, and Matthew Parkinson are new additions to the squad. The pace bowling department will be headed by Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson, and Chris Woakes.
