Ahead of his 188th and final Test, James Anderson has said he is “at peace” with the upcoming Lord’s match being his last and that he “completely understands” the England management’s decision to call time on his career.
Anderson, 41, is England’s all-time leading wicket-taker with 700 Test wickets, but after England’s 4-1 defeat to India earlier this year it was decided by captain Ben Stokes, head coach Brendon McCullum and managing director Rob Key that it was time to move on from the legendary seamer.
