England legend James Anderson has been selected by Manchester Originals for this year’s Hundred, the first franchise tournament of his 25-year career.

Anderson, who will be 43 when the tournament begins in August, has been picked up by the Originals in the wildcard draft.

The pace bowler, England’s all-time leading wicket-taker, retired from international cricket last year.

In his desire to keep playing, he entered the first draft for The Hundred and the Indian Premier League, but was not selected.

The Hundred wildcard draft allows each team to add two additional players to their squad.

In a raft of wildcard picks, Anderson’s Lancashire team-mate Rocky Flintoff has joined Northern Superchargers.

The 17-year-old has never played a professional T20 match but joins a squad led by his father Andrew, who is head coach at Superchargers.
