James Anderson and Virat Kohli
T20 has become the biggest format of cricket today. Players all over the world have started liking to play this format. Amidst all this, a veteran Test player will also be seen playing in the T20 format once again. This player is none other than England’s star player James Anderson. He has decided to start his professional cricket career once again. Anderson has signed a one-year contract with Lancashire. Apart from this, he can play T20 matches after more than a decade. Anderson, who played his farewell Test match against West Indies in July 2024, has not played any matches since then. Subsequently, he joined the backstaff of the England cricket team as a consultant.
Was unsold in IPL
Anderson participated in the IPL auction in December 2024, but was not bought. Despite this, he expressed his desire to continue playing and has now signed a new deal with Lancashire. He will play in the County Championship and T20 Blast. After signing this new contract, Anderson said that he is very excited to play cricket again with Lancashire next season. He described his relationship with the club as extremely special, saying that Lancashire had played an important role in his life, especially when he was a youth.
Started career with Lancashire
Anderson’s aim is to maintain his fitness and bowl at full strength at the start of the county season. Anderson has also bowled regularly during his time as a coach with England and is now looking forward to bowling in front of Lancashire members and supporters this summer. Anderson, who will turn 43 this year, started his career for Lancashire in 2001 and made his County Championship debut in 2024, taking 8 for 64 against Nottinghamshire. After this he also remained a top performer for the club.
