England’s long‑serving left‑arm spinner James Anderson, 44, has signed a new contract with Surrey, extending his record‑breaking career beyond his 45th birthday.

Anderson, who has been a mainstay of England’s bowling attack for more than a decade, has become one of the most celebrated figures in the game. His move to Surrey marks a new chapter in a career that has already seen him break numerous milestones.

The Surrey County Cricket Club welcomed the veteran bowler, who will bring experience and skill to the team’s bowling lineup. The signing was announced earlier this week, with both parties expressing enthusiasm about the partnership.

Anderson’s decision to continue playing at the county level underscores his enduring passion for the sport and his desire to remain competitive well into his mid‑forties.
