James Anderson: England's leading Test wicket-taker in talks to extend Lancashire contract

England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker James Anderson is in talks to extend his contract with Lancashire.

Anderson, 43, agreed a year-long deal at Old Trafford for the 2025 season after retiring from international cricket.

He took 17 wickets in the County Championship this year and returned to T20 cricket after a 10-year absence, also featuring in the Blast and The Hundred via wildcard.

A new deal could see Anderson play beyond his 44th birthday. He made his Lancashire debut in 2001, seven years before his team-mate Rocky Flintoff was born.

While he signed with the Red Rose county again earlier this year, Anderson missed the first five games of the season with a calf injury.

His initial prognosis of a month out was extended by two weeks, but he was back in time for the County Championship game against Derbyshire which ended in a draw.

Anderson even in the second half of the season for Lancashire, deputising for Marcus Harris, while he was also picked up by Manchester Originals in The Hundred.
