Sir Jimmy Anderson! England cricket legend to be knighted in Rishi Sunak’s honours list
Lancashire stalwart retired from international duty last year as the most prolific fast bowler in Test history
Former England fast bowler James Anderson has been awarded a knighthood in Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours list.
The 42-year-old retired from Test cricket in July having taken 704 wickets, the most by a fast bowler in Test history.
Anderson, who made his first-class debut for Lancashire in 2002, made his one-day international debut for England against Australia in December of that year, with his Test bow coming in May 2003.
