Leeds: England fast bowler James Anderson has admitted the England Cricket Board (ECB) doctored the pitches during the Ashes series, also adding that they should feel no shame about doing it more often in the future.

The dusty wickets which marred the past couple of Ashes campaigns, suddenly turned green at the request of coach Trevor Bayliss and captain Alastair Cook, news.com.au reported on Wednesday. England beat visitors Australia 3-2 convincingly.
