James Anderson To Receive Knighthood For Remarkable England Career
Legendary fast bowler James Anderson is set to be knighted in recognition of his outstanding 21-year career with England. His name appeared on the resignation honours list of former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as per ESPNcricinfo. The 42-year-old retired from international cricket in 2024 after claiming 704 Test wickets--the most by an English bowler and the most by any fast bowler in history. He played 188 Tests, ending his England career with a final match against the West Indies at Lord's in July 2024. His journey began at the same ground back in May 2003, when he made his debut against Zimbabwe.
