His international might have been over, but cricket isn’t over for the evergreen James Anderson. As per reports from UK, the veteran pacer is likely to make a return to white ball cricket. A team in the Major League Cricket (MLC) has expressed their desire and enquired about the availability of the star.
And if things go right, Anderson might be in USA next season to take part in the third edition of the Major League Cricket. A team from the MLC is willing to explore if the English star who retired from Test cricket earlier this summer would be interested to play the franchise cricket.
James Anderson to set sail over the Pacific?
Albeit it would be a very short stint, but the veteran could be earning around 1.49cr INR from his stay in USA. Quite a few stars have shared their trade in the USA. One of the biggest stars in the mixes was Australia Cricket Team captain Pat Cummins who is slated to plat with San Francisco Unicorns till 2027.
Not just the Aussie skipper other star players like Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head and Steve Smith has also played in MLC. Now it remains to be seen if the English veteran sets sail over the Pacific. Anderson last played a T20I match a decade ago, back in 2014. Against West Indies he played the first Test before hanging up his boots. But Jimmy Anderson joined the coaching staff and has a contract that runs till September.
