James Anderson says he made peace with being dropped for the West Indies tour.

He says he is going to perform for Lancashire in the County Championship.

Seamer Anderson told the radio station that England's selection policy was out of his control.

He said that he made peace with the decision weeks ago.

All I can do is get ready for the season and show people what I can do.

I feel in a good place and I'm looking forward to playing for Lancashire.

The coaching structure for this summer is still to be decided with head coach Chris Silverwood, director of cricket Ash Giles and assistant coach Graham Thorpe all leaving their roles after the loss to Australia.

The first Test of the home series will be against New Zealand.

Anderson is unsure about his international future because of the uncertainty over who will be in charge.

He said that he was not sure what the coaching situation would be.

I have to control what I can, that is play cricket and try to work hard at my skills and in the gym, get my body ready and see what happens.
