James Anderson says he considered retiring after West Indies snub
James Anderson said he thought about retiring from cricket after being dropped for the tour of West Indies earlier this year. The 39-year-old and fellow veteran seamer Stuart Broad were controversially omitted from the three-match series in the Caribbean, which ended in a 1-0 defeat and saw Joe Root resign as captain. New Test skipper Ben Stokes has said the two fast bowlers would always be in the playing 11 if fit but being axed from the squad had left Anderson wondering if he should call it a day.
