England legend James Anderson has refused to rule out the prospect of making one more Ashes tour of Australia, despite the fact he will be 43 years old when the 2025-26 series begins.
Anderson has enjoyed remarkable longevity and is the most successful seamer in the history of Test cricket, having picked up 329 wickets in 177 appearances. Only India legend Sachin Tendulkar has played more Tests than Anderson and, having taken 18 wickets at 17.44 since turning 40, he is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.
"The way to do it is definitely not to look too far ahead," Anderson said when asked how long he plans to keep playing for at the relaunch of his BBC podcast Tailenders, which he co-hosts alongside BBC Radio One DJ Greg James and former Maccabees guitarist Felix White.
