James Anderson has announced he will be retiring from international cricket after England’s first Test against the West Indies this summer.
Anderson is England’s biggest Test wicket-taker of all-time and is one of only three bowlers to take over 700 Test wickets.
“It’s been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game I’ve loved since I was a kid”, he said in a statement on Instagram.
“I’m going to miss walking out for England so much. But I know the time is right to step aside and let others realise their dreams just like I got to, because there is no greater feeling.”
Anderson thanked “everyone who has supported me over the years”.
“It’s always meant a lot, even if my face often doesn’t show it,” he added.
