James Anderson set to make T20 return after a decade: Report

Legendary England pacer James Anderson has reportedly caught the eye of a Major League Cricket (MLC) franchise as a potential recruit for its 2025 season, following recent hints at a possible return to white-ball cricket.

Senior figures from at least one MLC franchise are exploring whether the 42-year-old would be interested to make a return to T20s after recently hanging up his boots from international cricket, reported BBC Sport.

Anderson, who retired from international cricket after amassing 704 Test wickets, recently joined the England team as their fast-bowling mentor.

According to a BBC report, should Anderson sign on, he could earn around 1,35,000 euros (Rs 1.49 crore approx.) for a short stint in the competition.

Even though he played his last T20 match back in 2014 for Lancashire in the T20 Blast, Anderson has expressed confidence in excelling while playing white-ball cricket as well.

MLC, backed by influential figures like Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, has made its ambitions clear to lure top English talent to the league. World Cup winners Liam Plunkett and Jason Roy have already featured in the league in previous editions.
