(Reuters) - England still have quality bowlers at their disposal despite the absence of fast bowlers Stuart Broad and James Anderson, West Indies head coach Phil Simmons said on Monday ahead of their three-test series against England.

Anderson and Broad, who have taken a combined 1,177 wickets in test cricket, were not selected in England's 16-player squad following a 4-0 Ashes drubbing in Australia, but Simmons called on his side to keep their guard up.
