James Anderson last represented England in an ODI in the 2015 ICC World Cup. His T20I career spanned for only a couple of years, from 2007 to 2009.
However, the 38-year-old is the leader of the pack when it comes to England’s Test bowling line-up. With 600 wickets to his name, Anderson is not only England’s all-time leading wicket-taker in Test matches, but he is also the fast-bowler with the highest number of Test victims.
