‘It was just a 5-minute phone call’: Anderson fears ‘end’ of career

England veteran bowler James Anderson has finally broken his silence after being knocked out of the West Indies series. Anderson dropped out of the series along with fellow actor Stuart Broad, and the 39-year-old hopes it won’t be the “end” of his international career.

The veteran seaman with 640 Test wickets says he wants to regain his place in the Test squad.

“I pray this is not the end. I have one more attempt to dig deeper. I still have a lot to offer – I still have the desire and passion to play. I was shocked and disappointed to receive this call but after dealing with it , it’s important that I try to focus on what I can control, which shows people what I can do with the ball in my hand,” Anderson said on the Tailenders Podcast as reported by ICC.

“There could be a new director of cricket and a new head coach, so I just hope that whatever decision is made, it should be talked about the way it should be. Another thing that frustrates me is that it’s only a five-minute phone call – it doesn’t really enlighten you,” Anderson was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

Earlier on Thursday, England captain Joe Root insisted the two strikers were “obviously disappointed” but reassured that it was not “the end for them”.

“I’ve spoken to Stewart and Jimmy and they’re obviously disappointed, angry, especially Stewart being very open about it. You’d expect that. I have a lot of respect for both of them. Never – it’s been very clear – someone said it was a problem for them. It’s the end,” Root was quoted as saying by the Guardian.

Former Australian all-rounder Sean Watson also said he was baffled by the departure of Anderson and Stuart Broad from the England Test squad.

“I can understand why English cricket and the selectors are a little frustrated that they can’t make the same impact from a bowling perspective that Australia did in the last Ashes series,” Watson said on the ICC Review Show.

“But is the next generation of England bowlers doing better than Broad and Anderson at the moment? Not in my eyes. So I would choose her for the West Indies,” he added.
