Notably, Anderson has taken up as the bowling mentor role for the Three Lions which is why he is seen in the training pictures. The decision was made ahead of Anderson’s farewell Test match.

“After the Lord’s Test, Jimmy will continue in our set-up, and he’ll help a bit more as a mentor. He has got so much to offer English cricket. We don’t want to see that go. When we asked him, he was keen. He is going to have a lot of options. English cricket would be very lucky if he chooses to stay in the game,” England’s managing director, Rob Key confirmed.

Anderson is the only seamer in the world to have 700+ Test wickets. Overall, he is the third player after Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan.
