‘If it was up to me it wouldn’t end like this’: Jimmy Anderson confirms Lancashire exit

Jimmy Anderson, England's leading wicket-taker, is departing Lancashire after a 25-year tenure. The club chose not to offer him a contract extension for the 2027 season, meaning he will leave at the end of this year.

The 44-year-old bowler shared his gratitude on Instagram, noting that playing for his childhood team at Old Trafford was a dream. He also highlighted the privilege of serving as the team's captain.
