OLIVER HOLT: Sir James Anderson's 'abhorrent' axing by Lancashire was a soulless act of betrayal and stupidity that will shame the county for decades. It's easy to see why they are racked with rancour and division

Lancashire Cricket Club has axed James Anderson, described as the greatest cricketer in their history, in a move that columnist Oliver Holt labels 'abhorrent' and a betrayal. The decision has caused significant division and rancour within the county. Lancashire's chair, Dame Sarah Storey, was reportedly participating in a celebrity dance competition at the time the club was preparing to discard Anderson.
