In July, Anderson—who leads all speed bowlers in Test cricket in wickets—will play his last red-ball match for England.
Stuart Broad, a former fast bowler, believes England’s inexperienced bowling attack will face issues after star fast bowler James Anderson retires. Anderson, England’s experienced bowler, announced his retirement from Test cricket following the first match against the West Indies at Lord’s in July. Anderson, the leading wicket-taker among speed bowlers in Test cricket, will play his final red-ball game for England in July. Anderson has declared that the series opener against the West Indies at Lord’s on July 10-14 will be his 188th and final Test match for England after a career spanning more than two decades.
Broad is concerned about Ben Stokes’ future bowling options, which include Matthew Potts, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, and Gus Atkinson.
Broad stated, “I believe exposure is very crucial for some bowlers right now because there is potential out there. You’ve got Matthew Potts, who has done well in Test cricket and on Lions tours; Gus Atkinson, who has a lot of excellent traits; and Josh Tongue, who struggled with injuries over the winter but bowled well against Ireland and Australia.”
“Jimmy Anderson will undoubtedly leave a massive void that someone will have to fill. And not just by hitting the new ball.
