England's record Test wicket-taker James Anderson could be given an opportunity to join Surrey, according to a BBC Sport report. The 42-year-old fast bowler, who retired from international cricket in July 2024, finished his Test career with 704 wickets across 188 matches — the most by any pace bowler in the history of the format.
Anderson spent his entire county career with Lancashire before his England commitments took precedence. A move to Surrey would represent a significant shift in the domestic landscape, with the London-based club having won three County Championship titles in the past seven seasons.
No formal agreement has been announced, and discussions remain at an exploratory stage. Anderson has previously indicated a desire to continue playing domestic cricket following his international retirement.
