James Anderson in Talks to Extend Lancashire Playing Career

The 42-year-old former England pacer is negotiating a return to county cricket nearly a year after retiring from international play.

James Anderson is in discussions with Lancashire to continue playing for the county in the upcoming 2025 season, marking his 24th year with the club.
The former England fast bowler retired from international cricket last July after his 188th Test match, ending his career with 704 Test wickets.
Anderson has expressed interest in playing across all formats for Lancashire, despite not featuring in white-ball cricket since 2019.
Lancashire, recently relegated to the second division of the County Championship, sees Anderson as a key figure in their bid for promotion back to the top flight.
Anderson is balancing these talks with his current roles as a fast-bowling consultant for England and as a media commentator, with no long-term England coaching deal in place.
