Notably, the 41-year-old has represented England in 183 Test matches, taking 690 wickets and remains one of the finest in the game. There were some worries about Anderson’s future after Stuart Broad announced his retirement. The ace pacer himself explained his desire to remain in the longest version of the game.
Meanwhile, former England bowling coach Ottis Gibson stated that Anderson has most likely left the choice to the selectors over his retirement from international cricket. He went on to explain that it would have been perfect if Broad and Anderson had gone away together, but that didn’t happen.
“This is just my opinion, but Jimmy has now placed his exit in the hands of others. ” He hasn’t had the most successful series. Anderson and Broad may have gone away together. In an interview with the Yorkshire Post, Gibson commented, “Fantastic, great careers.”
“Its just a year ago that he left out of the Caribbean trip, and I know how disappoint he was. Again, this is just my view. But I feel like he’s now put himself at the mercy of others when it comes to his retirement from cricket. ” The former cricketer continued.
