'England Can’t Be Picking Anderson On Sentiment Forever; Have To Find Some Young Seamers', Says Boycott
New Delhi: Legendary England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott said England need to move on from James Anderson, as they can’t be picking him on sentiment forever and has urged the side to find young and reliable fast bowlers for the Ashes trip to Australia in 2025-26.
Anderson, 41, reached the landmark of 700 Test wickets by dismissing Kuldeep Yadav on day three of the fifth and final Test against India at Dharamshala, becoming the first fast-bowler to do so.
He is now third on the all-time list of wicket-takers in Tests behind Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne. But by the time England leave for the Ashes in Australia, Anderson will be 43, which means he may not be a certain starter, considering he hasn’t called it quits from the game yet.
