Former England bowler James Anderson has said that he might play in domestic The Hundred tournament after his recent retirement from Test cricket. The former pacer, however, still is in disbelief over quitting the Test cricket after playing record 188 matches for England.
“I might be in a bit of denial because I’m well aware I won’t play for England again, but I’ve still not made a decision on my actual cricket career,” Anderson told The Press Association.
“I watch The Hundred and see the ball swinging around in the first 20 balls and I think: ‘I can do that, I can still do that.’ I don’t know if that is a viable option, to maybe see if I could do a job in white-ball cricket. Franchise cricket is something I’ve never done,” he added.
“I still feel [playing domestically] is not off the table. The way that my body feels, the way I have been bowling in recent years, I still feel I could potentially have something to offer on that front,” explained the highest Test wicket-taker pacer.
Ponting Makes Early BGT Prediction
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting made a bold early claim, backing Pat Cummis & Co. to beat India 3-1 and reclaim the BG Trophy for the first time since 2014-15.
India and Australia are set to lock horns in a five-match Test series, i.e. the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting later this year Down Under. Notably, this will be the first time since the 1991-92 season that the two heavyweights will square off to play five Tests in a series.
Prior to the series commencement, India will also play a two-day day-night practice Test at Manuka Oval, Canberra. Rohit & Co. will be eager to retain the BG Trophy once again but will be wary of a strong comeback from Australia on their home soil.
