Anderson weighs future after Lancashire ends 26-year association
England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker James Anderson will not have his Lancashire contract renewed after 26 years with the club.
James Anderson has revealed his shock at Lancashire's decision not to renew his contract, ending his 26-year association with the club. The 44-year-old, England's leading wicket-taker, took 50 wickets at an average of 17 while captaining Lancashire last season, but the club finished second bottom in Division Two of the County Championship. Lancashire's new director of cricket Paul Farbrace and chief executive Richard Kenyon told Anderson the club wanted to build an attack for the future. Anderson said the decision made him question whether there was 'something fundamentally wrong with me as a person', particularly as England had dropped him in similar circumstances in 2024. He is now weighing whether to continue his career at another county or pursue 'something different'.
