Anderson’s Availability Uncertain For Durham Clash As Lancashire Weigh Workload Concerns
Lancashire County Cricket Club: Lancashire County Cricket Club head coach Steven Croft has said a late call will be taken on the availability of veteran pacer and captain James Anderson for their upcoming County Championship clash against Durham County Cricket Club, beginning on Friday.
Anderson, 43, who retired from international cricket in July 2024, has been instrumental in Lancashire’s strong start to the season, leading from the front with both ball and captaincy as the side sits atop Division Two with two wins and a draw from three matches. The experienced seamer is currently the leading wicket-taker in county cricket this season, claiming 21 wickets at an impressive average of 12.09.
However, with Anderson having bowled nearly 100 overs across three matches in just over two weeks, the team management is cautious about his workload ahead of a demanding schedule.
