England fast bowler James Anderson's career with the national team might be ending this summer following discussions with coach Brendon McCullum. McCullum, who visited from New Zealand, met with the 41-year-old Anderson over a round of golf. Reports from the Guardian newspaper and other British media sources on May 11, 2024, indicated the potential conclusion of Anderson's prolific career.
James Anderson, the most prolific wicket-taker in England's history, is set to retire this summer as coach Brendon McCullum plans to focus on the future of the Test team. Anderson, who recently reached 700 Test wickets, will end his career at 43 before England's Ashes bid in 2025-26. McCullum discussed this change with Anderson during a round of golf in the UK, aiming to reconfigure the team's seam attack. Anderson is just nine wickets away from surpassing Shane Warne's 708 and becoming the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket history.
James Michael Anderson (born 30 July 1982) is an English cricketer who plays for the England Test cricket team and Lancashire, and previously played for England's limited overs cricket teams. Anderson is widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers of all time. He holds the record for most wickets by a pace bowler in Test cricket history, having taken over 650 wickets. Anderson was a member of the England team that won the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.Anderson made his Test debut in 2003, played for England's One-Day International (ODI) team between 2002 and 2015, and played for England's Twenty20 International (T20I) team between 2007 and 2009. On the occasion of England's 1,000th Test in 2018, Anderson was named in the country's greatest all-time Test XI by the England and Wales Cricket Board. As of February 2024 , he is ranked as the number seven Test bowler in the world in the ICC Men's Player Rankings.Anderson plays as a right-arm fast-medium bowler. Among fast bowlers, he is the leading Test wicket-taker of all-time, being the first (and only) fast bowler to take 600 or more Test wickets, and is England's record Test wicket-taker. He has played the most Test matches for England, and the second-most of any cricketer, behind Sachin Tendulkar. He is also England's highest wicket-taker in One Day Internationals with 269. As a batsman, he and Joe Root hold the world record for highest tenth-wicket stand in Tests (198).
James Anderson "has to be in the conversation" as England's greatest-ever sportsperson, says Michael Atherton. The seam bowler, 41, moved on to 695 Test wickets after striking five times in the defeat to India in the second Test at Vizag. Anderson recorded match figures of 5-76 from 35 overs with an economy rate of 2.17 in what was the 184th Test of his career. He is now just five wickets away from being the first paceman, and third bowler after spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne, to the milestone of 700 in Test cricket.
England's coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes face key decisions after a 4-1 Test series loss in India. McCullum acknowledges the need to 'refine' their approach, moving away from the high-risk 'Bazball' strategy. The team's performance, including Joe Root's return to form, raises questions about their tactics. Despite the defeat, McCullum aims for improvements, emphasizing reflection and growth. The post-series analysis includes considerations for the upcoming series against the West Indies at Lord's in July.
Shoaib Bashir, the 20-year-old Somerset offspinner, will make his Test debut at Visakhapatnam on Friday, replacing Jack Leach in England's XI. James Anderson also returns to the team as the lone seamer, replacing Mark Wood. This will be Anderson's 184th Test cap and completes England's spin-heavy attack, consisting of three specialist bowlers with a total of three Test caps. England's selection of Bashir is seen as a bold move, as he has only played in six first-class matches. Despite his lack of experience, England captain Ben Stokes is confident in Bashir's natural ability and hopes he will perform well.
England faced a 434-run loss to India, the largest defeat in runs since 1934, leading to questions about their attacking style led by coach Brendon McCullum. Despite criticism, McCullum remains committed to the positive, front-foot approach, emphasizing the need for confidence and positivity. Former captain Nasser Hussain suggested a potential need for adjustment in their strategy. Concerns about star batter Joe Root's form were downplayed. Ben Stokes may resume bowling to strengthen the team. The fourth test begins in Ranchi, with England aiming to bounce back in the series.
Veteran England pacer James Anderson has revealed that Kuldeep Yadav had a hunch about being his 700th Test wicket when the two came face to face during the fifth and final Test against India in Dharamsala. Anderson became the first pacer and third bowler to take 700 Test wickets on March 9 with Yadav being his landmark scalp. It was Anderson's 187th Test appearance. "Kuldeep edged one down to third man for a single. As he got to the non-striker's end, and as I was walking back to my mark, he said: 'I'm going to be your 700th wicket'," Anderson said BBC's Tailenders podcast.

In the fifth of our series, two-time world champion Gary Anderson tells us the story behind his walk-on song. The Premier League kicks-off on Thursday February 3, live on Sky Sports , and one man who knows how to win it is Anderson. Anderson won the first ever Premier League he was involved in back in 2011 before repeating that success in 2015. Despite not winning a major individual title since his Champions League of Darts triumph in 2018, Anderson is still widely regarded as one of the very best on planet darts. The list of honours read out ahead of Anderson's walk-ons is already long, but no one would bet against him adding to that list before he walks away from the sport.
