Legendary James Anderson To Retire During England's Home Summer: Report

Legendary James Anderson is set for his final appearance in Test cricket as the upcoming home season for England will be the last for cricket's most successful fast bowler, a report in UK media said. Having become the first fast bowler ever to take 700 wickets in Test cricket during England's tour of India earlier this year, legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne's tally of 708 wickets in the format could be on Anderson's target as he takes the field for one final run with the England team. According to 'The Guardian', Anderson has been told by England's Test team coach Brendon McCullum that they are looking at the future, with an eye on the Ashes 2025-26 in Australia, which means that end of the road is near for the 41-year-old.

Andre Russell Breaks Silence After Ex-KKR Star Calls Head Coach 'Militant'

Senior all-rounder Andre Russell on Thursday supported Kolkata Knight Riders' head coach Chandrakant Pandit, whose coaching style was termed “militant” by former KKR all-rounder David Wiese. Wiese, who now plies his trade for Namibia, claimed that many foreign players in the roster of KKR were frustrated by Pandit's tough style of functioning during last year's IPL. However, Jamaican Russell, an integral part of KKR's core group, sounded different. “We've been working with him from last year.

So, we don't complain,” said Russell during the pre-match press meet.
