There are rumors that England’s most competent fast bowler, James Anderson, may resume cricket a month after announcing retirement from international Test matches. This decision of the 42-year-old to quit Test cricket was taken after having a glorious career and becoming the only pace bowler having more than 700 wickets in his Test cricket account. The end of the glorious career of one of the best bowlers of his time came with that match, as he bid adieu to Test cricket in a match against West Indies at Lord’s.
A New Chapter: Exploring Whilte-Ball Cricket
While James Anderson has retired from Test cricket, he is now looking to come back to white ball cricket. To be precise, he is enthralled at the idea of being part of The Hundred Tournament which has created ripples across cricket-obsessed fans with its distinctive format. This interest is somewhat astonishing given the fact that he had never participated in franchise-based tournaments in the past and this cricketer has mainly concentrated on Test cricket.
Still, the Hundred due to its intense and thrilling approach could represent a unique proposition for the spinner. His participation interest arises from the favourability of the facilities that incite swing bowler proficiency – a specialty he developed over his playing years. James stepped forward in the recent past to agree with the opinion that the idea of participating in The Hundred attracts him, especially after he followed the first season of the competition.
Anderson’s Reflections on his Career and Future
James Anderson signed off from Test cricket before the important series against Pakistan by being a bowling consultant for the England team in the last two Test matches against West Indies. This helped him to remain involved with the sporting discipline as he stepped down from competition to non-athletic roles. Though Anderson has removed himself from international Test cricket he did not close the door for other forms of the game which means he can be back in the game in the future.
Anderson also supported this by emphasizing the point that he has not featured in the T20 International format for England since the year 2009. James Anderson has worked as a One Day International and has played Test cricket after that time in his career. It had thus emerged that with the summer season coming to an end, this is the time when Anderson will be making his decision on what to do next.
James Anderson’s Potential Return
In James Anderson‘s case, he still carries a positive attitude about facing and playing in the league despite his age. He says that returning to cricket is an issue that he certainly raises questions about your fitness and interest from teams, but he is confident enough about his abilities.
When he decides to think about getting off cricket professionally, spectators and analysts will keenly observe if the fastest bowler in the history of English cricket will come back to the sport in The Hundred or not in any other format. But its very mention would bring a different perspective into the event and give his fans a chance to see one of the best cricketers of all time bowl.
