Record-breaking England bowler James Anderson has been awarded a knighthood in Rishi Sunak's resignation honours list.
The Lancashire bowler, who retired from international cricket in 2024, having taken 704 wickets in 188 Tests, was recognised for his services to cricket by the former Prime Minister.
ECB Chair Richard Thompson said: "Congratulations Sir Jimmy Anderson. This is a really well-deserved honour for an England legend who has given so much to our sport.
"Jimmy’s career has been marked by extraordinary achievements, not least in winning the Ashes four times and becoming England's all-time leading wicket-taker. His skill, determination, and sportsmanship have inspired millions of cricketers and fans alike, in England and around the world.
"This is fitting recognition for a true world-great who has given so much to the game on and off the field."
