James Anderson, the renowned England Test cricketer, feels that achievements in the game are not significant, and he may explore becoming a coach in some way once he retires.
With just 9 wickets needed in his final Test match to overtake the late Shane Warne, who stands in second place after Muttiah Muralitharan with 708 wickets in the all-time list of great bowlers, James Anderson is on the verge of greatness.The experienced cricket player answered a question from correspondent Behram Qazi on whether or not he would like to break Shane Warne’s record.”Obviously, I’d like to take nine wickets, but that’s easier said than done. As I’ve already stated, I’m not concerned with reaching personal goals,
When you play for a long time, milestones seem to come along, and when they do, it’s beautiful,” Anderson remarked.In his final Test match against the West Indies, the 41-year-old appeared committed to helping his side win by taking vital wickets.
“I just want to finish on a positive note, taking one or two wickets at crucial times and helping us win the game,” he said. “But I’m more than happy with the number of wickets I’ve taken.”In response to Behram’s inquiry regarding Anderson’s interest in coaching England in the future, the fast bowler stated that it is a possibility and that he would give it some thought.
“Yes, coaching is something I have definitely considered. For the past few years, I have kind of served as a mentor to the newer players on the team, helping them get adjusted and feel comfortable while also trying to help them perform well because I believe I have a lot of experience to offer.” The first Test match between England and the West Indies will take place at Lord’s Stadium on July 10 at 3 PM PST.
