James Anderson, England's legendary fast bowler, has retired from international cricket after the first Test against the West Indies at Lord's. Anderson, who took 704 Test wickets and became the first pacer to bowl over 50,000 deliveries in international cricket, was celebrated by teammates and former captains for his remarkable career. Despite missing several milestones, including breaking Shane Warne's record and reaching 1000 international wickets, Anderson's legacy as England's highest wicket-taker remains intact. He has also been recognized for his resilience and skill, managing to play 188 Tests over 21 years. Anderson will continue to contribute to English cricket as part of the backroom staff. His toughest opponent, as he stated, was Sachin Tendulkar.
