James Anderson is to be knighted for his services to cricket in Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours list, the Government has announced.

Anderson is England’s record Test wicket-taker and has also played more Test matches for England than any other player.

The 42-year-old retired from Test cricket last summer with 704 wickets to his name, third on the all-time list behind Muttiah Muralitharan (800) and Shane Warne (708), but will continue to play for his county, Lancashire.

Anderson played 188 Tests, 194 ODIs, and 19 T20 internationals during the 21 years he played for England after first making his first appearance in 2002 and his Test debut the following year.

He picked up a calf injury in pre-season training, ruling him out of Lancashire’s first block of matches in April, but he said he could play another three years and to the age of 45.

“I really want to focus on this year and do as well as I can,” Anderson told BBC Sport.

“I am not ruling out playing for another one, two or three years. I don’t think you should limit yourself with that.”
