England have received a significant boost with the news that James Anderson will be able to join their Test squad in India almost immediately. Anderson, Englands leading Test wicket-taker, has not bowled since August after suffering from a shoulder injury and was omitted from the original tour squad with the proviso that he would be recalled if he was able to prove his fitness.He returned to bowling a couple of weeks ago and has come through every test and scan before being cleared for the trip. He is now expected to join up with the rest of the squad ahead of the first Test in Rajkot, which starts on Wednesday, and could be considered for the second Test in Visakhapatnam, starting on November 17.Hopes of arranging a warm-up game for Anderson have been abandoned, though. While the England camp have explored the possibility of finding Anderson a club game in India to play in with a view to establishing his match fitness, it is understood that the plans were vetoed on security grounds. Englands security advisors remain keen to keep the squad together at all times in order not to dissipate their protection detail.His return will still come as a huge relief to Alastair Cook. While Anderson may have lost some of the pace he had when proving so influential on the 2012 tour - MS Dhoni rated him the difference between the two teams - his control remains exceptional and he has an impressive package of skills. In 17 Tests in Asia, he has taken 55 wickets at an average of 28.29. Under Cooks captaincy, that record is 25 wickets from seven Tests at an average of 22.64. He claimed 12 in the 2012 series.While it was the batsmen that most obviously let England down on the last day in Dhaka, it may also be relevant that England lost the first Test Cook has captained (and that is 54 in total) without either Anderson or Stuart Broad in his side.Its really good news, Cook said. Hes probably about a week ahead of where we thought he would be. Hes worked incredibly hard to get back. Hes got the all clear. Now he needs to come out here and acclimatise and get some overs in the nets.It is a brave move from Anderson, too. Some bowlers in his position might look at such a tour, on pitches offering them little and against a dauntingly strong batting line-up, and conclude they might be better conserving themselves until the start of the English season and more friendly conditions. But that is not Andersons way.Whether he can retain his outstanding record against Virat Kohli remains to be seen. For a batsman of such obvious class, Kohli has an oddly modest Test record against England - he averages just 20.12 after nine Tests against them - with Anderson having dismissed him five times at an average of 15.40. While the suspicion remains that this will be the series that the dam breaks and Kohli corrects that record, Andersons experience of the conditions and ability to unpick batsmens techniques could prove an asset even before he returns to the team.Its great that hes put the effort in, Cook said. Rather than maybe taking the easy option and coming back in July, he wants to make a difference in this series.His experience of knowing how to take wickets in these conditions and passing that experience on to the bowlers will be great. He and Stuart Broad are big leaders of this bowling attack. Theyve done it since probably 2008 or 2009. Theyve been pushing this side forward and leading the bowlers. The number of wickets theyve taken in all conditions is credit to their skills. Its great to have them back and that experience will only help the other guys.Its certainly not ideal he hasnt had a warm-up game. But if theres one person who could do it, its Jimmy. Hes well aware of that challenge. Hes come back so much quicker than we thought he would. Hes up for this. Hes not just coming here to make up the numbers. Is it ideal? No. Weve tried to find him a bit of cricket somewhere just to get some miles and overs in his legs, but we cant. So well just have to make do and well see what state hes in.It is possible that Andersons return could alter the balance of Englands attack. While it remains likely they will go into the first Test with three spinners and three seamers, they may be tempted to play four seamers later in the series. More realistically, though, Andersons return might provide the opportunity to rotate the likes of Broad or even Chris Woakes to help them through such a condensed five-Test series.Is there a chance of us going 4-2? Cook said. Yes, there is. But theres also a very good chance of us going 3-3. Its very hard to say without seeing the wicket.England travel from Mumbai to Rajkot on Sunday and will next train on Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mark Melancon sat patiently as his name circulated in rumors leading up to the trade deadline.Ive been through it before, so I realize that until it happens its not a big deal, Melancon said. I just waited until I got the phone call.The call finally came on Saturday, and he was no longer the closer for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Instead, the All-Star was joining the NL East-leading Washington Nationals.By Sunday, Melancon had joined his new team for a game in San Francisco.A lot of different emotions going on just because Ive been with the Pirates for a while, said Melancon, who was in his fourth year with Pittsburgh. Its a little sad to leave those guys, but at the same time Im really excited to be here on a first-place club.Washington sent reliever Felipe Rivero and pitching prospect Taylor Hearn to the Pittsburgh Pirates to acquire Melancon, who supplants the struggling Jonathan Papelbon as Washingtons closer.Melancon exchanged text messages with Papelbon on Saturday while he was between flights.Papelbon is 2-4 with a 4.41 ERA and has allowed eight runs and seven hits in his past three outings.Hes been awesome about it, Melancon said. Its a tough situation, so I understand . Like he said, were here to win a championship, whatever it takes.The deal reunites Melancon with his Team USA teammate Max Scherzer. He also works out with Anthony Rendon in the offseason.ddddddddddddThe 31-year-old right-hander goes from the fringe of the wild-card race to a team thats building a nice lead in its division.It gives you a nice little boost, I know that, Melancon said. For me it was really exciting. Whirlwind of a day yesterday, but Im here and everythings great.Melancon has converted 30 of 33 saves with a 1.51 ERA this season. He joins his fifth organization in eight years.He is making $9.65 million and is eligible for free agency after the World Series; as part of the swap, the Pirates will pay Washington $500,000 on Sept. 1.Melancon broke into the majors in 2009 with the Yankees, where he was considered a possible successor to Mariano Rivera. He also pitched for Houston, Boston and the Yankees.He credits the famed Yankees closer with helping him develop the cut fastball that he considers his best pitch.I got to watch that a lot from (Rivera), Melancon said. Just sit behind the plate, sit behind him pitching. Not only did I notice how important the cutter and the movement, when to throw it in and back door and all that stuff but just his location and how important that was. With him only having one pitch it meant a lot that he hit his spots, so I picked up a lot on those subtleties. ' ' '
