England all time bowling great James Anderson believes if he retains his form he could still play until 2021 Ashes, as he says being able to focus on the longer versions of the game, county cricket and Test matches has probably improved his chances of extending international career.
“I’m very fortunate to have the body I have. For a fast bowler, not much stress goes through my body. A lot less than a lot of other fast bowlers.
“It’s just a case of looking after myself. If I can keep fit, keep my speeds up, there’s no reason why not.
“I don’t know whether I’ve peaked but I think I’m bowling as well as I have.
“I know it’s slightly different in county cricket but for me, just playing Test cricket, not one-day cricket, there’s no reason why I can’t extend my career a little bit.”
All time leading wicket taker for England, Anderson will be nearly 40 year old, by the time of 2021 Ashes Series.
