Legendary England pacer James Anderson has announced his autobiography will be released in November later this year. The announcement comes weeks after Anderson retired from international cricket. The 41-year-old said he could finally reflect on his career following his retirement.
Notably, the autobiography will be published by ‘Waterstones’. Fans can pre-order the copies, which will be available on the official website from November 7 onwards. The Kindle version on Amazon costs ₹447.45, while the paperback edition is priced at ₹2259.59
On Monday, July 29, James Anderson wrote on X:
“As a player, you don’t get a chance to reflect much – there’s always the next game to play. Now I get to look back over my career and tell the unforgettable story of the journey so far.”
"My autobiography publishes this November. Signed copies available from @waterstones,” he added.
James, who received a fitting farewell from England, is the leading wicket-taker among pacers in international cricket, including Tests (704 scalps). The Lancashire pacer bagged 991 wickets in 401 matches during his illustrious career. He is only behind spinners – Australia’s Shane Warne (1001 wickets) and Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan (1347).
“I do not know anyone who loves playing cricket and representing England as much as Jimmy” – Moeen Ali’s tribute to James Anderson
England all-rounder Moeen Ali recently paid rich tributes to James Anderson for his exceptional career. Ali justified his statement by using the 2014 Test against Sri Lanka as an example. He wrote in his column for The Guardian:
“I do not know anyone who loves playing cricket and representing England as much as Jimmy. The same goes for guys who hate losing. I got a taste of this in my second Test at Headingley when, nine down and after an hour and a half of us two digging in trying to save the series, he got out with two balls of the match to go.”
“There I was, two Tests into my England career, watching a guy who had already experienced and achieved so much in tears at the other end. I was gutted for him, rather than myself or the team, because he worked so hard and played so well. Test cricket is pretty unforgiving and people forget what this means for guys down the order, doing the thing they are not paid to do,” he added.
Following his retirement, James Anderson has joined as a mentor for the England cricket team.
