James Anderson’s legendary, record-breaking 22-year international career will end this year, bringing a close to one of Australia’s great foes ahead of next year’s Ashes.
James Anderson’s legendary, record-breaking 22-year international career will end this northern summer after the bowler held face-to-face talks with the England coach Brendon McCullum.
Only Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan and Australia’s Shane Warne stand ahead of him in the all-time Test wicket-taking list and only India’s Sachin Tendulkar has played more Tests.Whether Anderson adds to those remarkable tallies remains unclear, but he appears likely to be handed at least one more Test.
While Anderson was handed just a one-year deal on reduced terms last winter, the likes of Gus Atkinson, Matt Potts, Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue were given multi-year deals. England will hope that Ollie Robinson is through a slump in focus and can lead the attack in a post-Anderson world, but they also have the extreme skill of Chris Woakes at home, as well as the pacey but fragile duo of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer.
