Anderson, the most prolific seamer in Test history, is set for a farewell appearance against the West Indies at Lord’s in July.
England will have to find a way to move on after James Anderson’s international retirement, according to managing director Rob Key.
“This is the right decision and this is the right time. Hopefully he gets a fantastic end at Lord’s.”Key added: “People need the opportunity to learn to bowl with the new ball, to go through a day’s worth of Test cricket and back it up the next day. Now is the time for people to start learning that.”
“When we made the decision and thought we needed to meet Jimmy to discuss the future, Brendon came to the conclusion that the right thing to do was to fly over to England,” Key added.
