After seeing the movement of the new ball in The Hundred 2024, he is planning to return to white ball cricket. Anderson last played in the T20 tournament 2014 T20 Blast Final. After that he completely focused on red ball cricket. Anderson is the fastest bowler in the world to take the most Test wickets. He is at number three in the overall list. Anderson has taken 269 wickets in 194 ODIs and 19 wickets in 18 T20 International matches. He played his last ODI in 2015 and his last T20 International match in 2009. After retirement, Anderson joined the England team as a bowling mentor for the last two matches of the Test series against the West Indies. He retired after playing the first Test match of this series. I want to make my career in T20 format James Anderson According to PA news agency, the veteran bowler said, “There is a little interest in the shorter format because I have not played for any franchise before. Watching The Hundred this year and seeing the ball swing, I feel that I can perform in it. I am probably in a bit of denial because I know very well that I will never play for England again but I have not yet made any decision on my cricket career.” He further said, “Once this summer is over, I can sit down and think if I want to play any form of cricket again next year. I am ready to think about any form of cricket. I am fit enough to play right now and I am not keeping myself away from anything.” However, Anderson is aware of his age. He said, “It is difficult to know whether people are interested in seeing me in such a format or not. So we will wait and see. I know it has been a long time since I played this and the issue of my age will be raised again. But I really think I am fit enough to play this format of cricket.”
