Former England bowler Anderson 'hated every minute' of The Hundred

James Anderson, England’s record-breaking Test wicket-taker, has delivered a blunt assessment of his only experience in The Hundred, revealing he “hated every minute” of last summer’s competition and intends to be abroad when the tournament returns this year. The 41-year-old paceman, whose 700 Test wickets make him the most prolific seamer in the format’s history, made the candid admission while outlining his immediate playing future. Anderson’s brief cameo in the 100-ball event appears set to be his last, with the Lancashire stalwart already planning a holiday to ensure he avoids the 2024 edition.
