James Anderson has “made peace” with his impending England retirement — even if the evergreen seamer believes he is bowling as well as he ever has done. Anderson, who turns 42 this month, was told by England’s management team in April that they would be moving on from him this summer as they look toward the future.
FILE - England ’s James Anderson gestures to the crowd after taking his 700th wicket on the third day of the fifth and final test match between England and India in Dharamshala, India, Saturday, March 9, 2024. James Anderson has “made peace” with his impending England retirement — even if the evergreen seamer believes he is bowling as well as he ever has done.
Despite his age, Anderson warmed up for his 188th and final test appearance against the West Indies at Lord’s — which starts Wednesday — with a seven-wicket haul for Lancashire last week. “I feel like I’m still bowling as well as I ever have,” Anderson said. “But I knew it had to end at some point. Whether it’s now or in a year or two. The fact it’s now is something I’ve got to deal with and accept. The last couple of months I’ve made peace with that. I can completely understand the decision and the way the team and management want to go.
