James Anderson to Retire After Final Test at Lord's, Marking End of an Era

England's legendary fast bowler, James Anderson, announces his retirement from Test cricket, setting his final match for July at Lord's.

Anderson, England's all-time leading wicket-taker, will conclude his 21-year Test career with 700 wickets.
The decision follows discussions with England coach Brendon McCullum, focusing on transitioning to a younger bowling lineup.
Anderson's final appearance will be against the West Indies, echoing the symmetry of his debut at the same venue in 2003.
His retirement is part of England's broader strategy to build a new team for the 2025 Ashes series.
The cricket community anticipates a fitting farewell for Anderson, who has been a pivotal figure in England's recent cricket history.
