James Anderson To Captain Lancashire For Next Two County Championship Matches
James Anderson: Legendary England pacer James Anderson will captain Lancashire in their next two County Championship matches, stepping into the role as Marcus Harris returns to Australia for the birth of his child. This interim captaincy marks a special milestone in the 42-year-old's career, as he prepares to lead a professional side for the very first time
Anderson, who has played just one Championship match this season due to a calf injury, has found his rhythm in the Vitality Blast — a format he returned to after over a decade — taking 10 wickets in four matches. He will now channel that form into red-ball leadership, starting with the match against Kent in Blackpool on Sunday, followed by an away fixture against Derbyshire in Chesterfield.
“Jimmy will lead the side and it is exciting for him and us,” interim head coach Steven Croft told BBC sport. “He has captained only once and that was in a pre-season tour T20 game in Dubai, so it will be nice for Jimmy and nice for the lads. He has obviously got a lot to offer on and off the field. It will be a proud moment for him.”
