Original: James Anderson, 44, set to retire from cricket after Lancashire contract snub
England's record Test wicket-taker James Anderson, 44, is reportedly set to retire from professional cricket after Lancashire declined to offer him a new contract. The veteran pace bowler, who ended his 21-year international career in 2024 and continued playing county cricket, now looks likely to bring his playing days to a close.
