James Anderson to Be Knighted for Legendary England Career

James Anderson, England’s most decorated fast bowler, is set to receive a knighthood for his extraordinary 21-year international career. The 42-year-old retired in 2024 after claiming 704 Test wickets in 188 matches — a record for any England bowler and the most by any fast bowler in history. Named in Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours list, Anderson’s contribution to cricket is now being recognized at the highest level. From debuting at Lord’s in 2003 to finishing at the same iconic venue in 2024, Anderson’s journey has been nothing short of historic. Follow Khelstake for more legendary cricket milestones.
