James Anderson: England great signs new Lancashire deal at age of 43

James Anderson has said he still has "plenty to offer" having signed a one-year deal to remain with Lancashire at the age of 43.

The England great will extend his playing career beyond his 44th birthday as a result of his new contract.

Anderson, England's all-time leading wicket-taker, retired from international cricket in 2024 and continued with the Red Rose in 2025.

He took 17 wickets in six County Championship matches and 20 wickets in the T20 Blast, guiding Lancashire to Finals Day.

"I still get the same buzz walking out at Emirates Old Trafford that I did when I made my debut," he told the club, external.

"I've really enjoyed my cricket this year and still feel like I've got plenty to offer. I'm as hungry as ever to perform and contribute to the team's success across both red and white ball cricket.

"We've got a really talented squad with great ambitions and I'm looking forward to helping the group continue to develop, while supporting Crofty in his new role as we push for promotion and trophies in 2026."
