The GOAT is back🥶🔥 ||
James Anderson, the former England pacer, has expressed his interest in exploring franchise cricket opportunities following his retirement from international cricket. The 41-year-old, who recently joined the England side as a bowling mentor for the remainder of the Test summer, believes he can still utilize his swing bowling skills at the highest level.Anderson's decision to consider franchise cricket comes after witnessing the ball swinging during The Hundred competition. "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 do not 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 have never done," he said on The Final Word Podcast, as quoted by Wisden.
Despite his retirement from international cricket, Anderson has not completely ruled out the possibility of playing domestic cricket. The 42-year-old believes that his current physical condition and bowling performance in recent years suggest that he could still contribute to the game.James Anderson, the former England pacer who amassed an impressive tally of 188 Tests, 194 ODIs, and 19 T20Is throughout his career, expressed confidence in his ability to challenge English batsmen in the nets, despite his retirement from international cricket.
"Bowling at the England lads in the nets, you have to have change-ups and slower balls. We constantly work it, so I do not think [the skills and variations] will be an issue. But I do not know how much people will want a 42-year-old bowler in their team so we will have to wait and see," Anderson remarked, acknowledging the potential hesitation teams may have in recruiting a veteran bowler.
