March 14 (CRICKETNMORE) - After Ashes 201718, James Anderson will continue to be England's vice-captain for the two-Test series against New Zealand despite the return of Ben Stokes, who had previously held the role. 

"I'm delighted Joe has asked me to do it again for this series," the 35-year-old seamer told the BBC. "It doesn't change my role in the team a huge amount. I see myself as a senior player and I'm there for people if they need advice. Certainly if Joe needs help on the field, I'm there for him."
