England legend James Anderson announces retirement from Test cricket
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.
