England hero James Anderson makes "wait and see" retirement admission ahead of the Ashes

James Anderson has opened up about retirement plans ahead of the Ashes, with the England legend set to turn 41 during the series.

Anderson is the most successful seamer in the history of Test match cricket and is showing no real signs of slowing down any time soon. Since turning 40, Anderson has taken 28 Test wickets at an average of just 17.21, having been rejuvenated by the new positive and aggressive approach England have adopted under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

However, Anderson admits he does not want to "drag it out" and says he is hoping he will end up in a similar situation to England's World Cup winning captain Eoin Morgan, who walked away from international cricket last year.
