There is a saying in English: “Age is just a number.” This means age does not really matter. Sometimes we see rare people around the world who prove age wrong by doing amazing things we do not expect. We find such stories in almost every sport, including cricket. In IPL 2025, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and 43-year-old MS Dhoni both showed this. But there is another legendary cricketer making waves at age 42. His name is James Anderson.

James Anderson may have retired from international cricket, but at the age of 42, he is still troubling batsmen with his bowling. After leaving international matches, he is now playing in domestic cricket and showing the same skills. In the T20 Blast tournament in England, Anderson gave a strong performance once again. He bowled with great control and took 3 wickets while giving only 17 runs.

James Anderson is known for his red-ball bowling, but this time he impressed everyone in T20 cricket. He returned to this format after almost 10 years. Playing for Lancashire against Durham, he bowled 4 overs, gave just 17 runs, and took 3 important wickets. His bowling reminded fans of his old days. He dismissed Durham’s top three batsmen and did not allow them to score freely.
