Anderson to captain Lancashire in Harris' absence

London, June 18 (UNI) Lancashire are banking on Sir James Anderson igniting their faltering red-ball season by making him captain for the County Championship game against Kent at Blackpool, starting on Sunday.
England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker will lead the Red Rose in their next two matches in the absence of Marcus Harris, who is returning to Australia for the birth of his second child.
Interim coach Stephen Croft is hoping Anderson's X factor and experience can help drag Lancashire to a first victory of the campaign at the eighth attempt - they are currently the only winless side in the country in either division.
