Anderson could be given chance to join Surrey

England's all-time leading wicket-taker has left Lancashire after not being offered a contract by the county for whom he first played professionally 25 years ago. Although he will turn 45 in July 2027, Anderson has stopped short of retiring and said on his Tailenders podcast last week: "I am starting to get excited about the future, whether it is something different or playing cricket again. It is exciting." In the days after news emerged of Anderson's exit from Lancashire, a number of clubs from both divisions of the County Championship expressed an interest in speaking to the seamer.
