James Anderson receives knighthood for services to cricket

James Anderson, England’s leading Test wicket-taker of all time, has received a knighthood.

The 43-year-old pace bowler, who took 704 wickets in 188 Tests during an international career spanning 22 years, was knighted by the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle.

Anderson was named in former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s resignation honours list in April for services to cricket.

Only former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan and ex-Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne have taken more Test wickets.
