James Anderson is England's all-time leading wicket-taker

Lancashire captain and England legend James Anderson has called the regulations around injury replacements in the County Championship "daft" and "nonsensical".

The season-long trial allows replacements for injury, illness and significant life events.

But Lancashire have twice been left confused by decisions surrounding the replacements they have been permitted.

In their win at Gloucestershire, Tom Bailey was deemed too experienced to be a like-for-like replacement for fellow seamer Ajeet Singh Dale, meaning Ollie Sutton had to be drafted in from a second XI fixture.
