James Anderson: Former England bowler set to play for Lancashire after injury

It would be Anderson’s first county game since last July, when he took 7-35 against Nottinghamshire at Southport.

After retiring from international duty with 704 Test wickets to his name, he acted as a bowling consultant for the England team for the rest of last summer and put his name forward for the Indian Premier League without being selected.

But he signed a deal to play for Lancashire in the Championship and the T20 Blast.

His return is a welcome boost for the Red Rose county, who after being pre-season favourites for an immediate return to Division One, have drawn four and lost one of their five games.

It led to the resignation of captain Keaton Jennings earlier this week and a statement apologising for the club’s poor start to the season.

Australia batter Marcus Harris takes over as skipper, with Anderson expected to bring “vast experience and leadership” to the struggling side, a club statement said.
