Jimmy Anderson in sensational retirement U-turn: England legend will play on next summer aged 45 as TWELVE counties offer him chance to extend career after Lancashire axe

England cricket legend Jimmy Anderson, 42, is set to continue his playing career after Lancashire decided not to offer him a new contract. Twelve county cricket clubs have approached the record-breaking fast bowler, and Anderson is reportedly close to agreeing terms with one of them. The move would see Anderson, who will be 42 next summer, extend his career beyond his release from Lancashire.
