Anderson may play IPL to earn T20 berth

London: After becoming the second England bowler to scalp 200 wickets in both ODIs and Tests, pacer James Anderson said he might consider playing in the Indian Premier League to convince the selectors of his capabilities in the Twenty20 format.
Anderson was not part of the England squad that won the Twenty20 World Cup in 2010 and the 29-year-old pacer said he would look to perform well in the ongoing ODI series against India to earn a place in the T20 squad as well.

Anderson on Saturday became only the second England bowler after Darren Gough (235) to take 200 wickets in both ODIs and Test cricket during the rain-marred first one-dayer against India at Chester-le-Street.
With the 2012 World Cup Twenty20 just a year and nine matches away for England, Anderson said he is running out of time to convince the selectors.
"With a maximum of only nine T20 matches for England between now and the next World T20 (in Sri Lanka next September), time and games are running out for me to convince the selectors I still have something to offer," said Anderson, who has played 19 Twenty20 Internationals for England and picked up 18 wickets.
"I can also see where they are going with this younger-looking team. But I do feel I can transfer the skills I've developed in one-day and Test cricket to the T20 arena and it's frustrating that I haven't had the opportunity to play any domestic T20 cricket in which to try to press my case," Anderson said.
