England’s record Test wicket-taker James Anderson was treated with disrespect when he was released by Lancashire, according to his former pace bowling partner Stuart Broad.
Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad criticized Lancashire for its handling of James Anderson's exit, calling the club's decision "pretty disrespectful." Lancashire announced on Sunday that Anderson would not receive a contract renewal. The 44-year-old pacer, who claimed 50 County Championship wickets at an average of 17 this past season and was named the club's player of the year, indicated that the decision was not his.
Broad argued on the For The Love of Cricket podcast that Lancashire showed a lack of leadership by not giving an icon a proper send-off. He also compared the club's actions to how Anderson's international Test career was brought to an abrupt conclusion in 2024 by England team management.
