Will James Anderson Take Part In IPL Auction? Here's What We Know

Anderson finished his career with 703 Test wickets, playing his final Test match against West Indies at Lord's.

The red-ball specialist, who has not played white-ball cricket since 2015, might consider a return to franchise cricket at the age of 42.

James Anderson played his final T20 match in 2014, representing his home county Lancashire in the NatWest T20 Blast.

The former England pacer might still be interested in participating in franchise T20 cricket over the next couple of years.

I might be in a bit of denial because I’m well aware I won’t play for England again, but I’ve still not made a decision on my actual cricket career, Anderson told a UK media agency. Once this summer is done, I can sit down and have a real think if I want to play cricket in some shape or form again next year. I’m quite open at the minute to thoughts of any sort of cricket, I’m still fit enough to play and I’m not shutting myself off to anything. It’s hard to know if there will be any interest from people wanting me to play in that sort of thing so we’ll wait and see. I know it’s a while since I played it and my age will get brought up again, but I really feel I’ll be good enough to play that form of cricket, he concluded.

If not in the IPL, other teams around the world might still consider him for their franchise T20 leagues.
