James Anderson is set to call time on his 22-year long international career at the end of the 2024 summer, according to a report in the Guardian.
Neither the ECB nor Anderson is yet to comment publicly on the topic, but the Guardian report stated that Anderson’s extraordinary England career will end this year.
According to the Guardian, England head coach Brendon McCullum held face-to-face discussions with the veteran seamer to inform Anderson that England were “looking to the future”.
Anderson, 41, is the only seamer in the history of the game to take 700 Test wickets. His England Test debut came in May 2003, before some of his current teammates were born.
Anderson had a decent recent tour of India, taking 10 wickets at 33.50 but endured a tough home Ashes series in 2023, taking five wickets at 85 across his four appearances.
