Michael Atherton: Michael Atherton, the former England captain, feels veteran fast-bowler James Anderson choosing to retire after the first Test against West Indies at Lord’s, starting on July 10, is not much of a surprise as the side aims to build a fast-bowling attack for future.

On Saturday, Anderson announced that he has decided to call time on his Test career following the Lord’s Test against the West Indies, bringing an end to a long-standing and illustrious career in the longest format of the game, earning 187 caps for England so far.
