Legendary England speedster James Anderson has announced his autobiography to be released in November later this year as well. The announcement came soon after the veteran pace bowler retired from international cricket. The veteran also said that he could finally reflect on his career following his retirement.
Notably, the autobiography will be published by ‘Waterstones’ and fans can pre-order the copies, which will be available on the official website
from November 7 onwards as well. The Kindle version on Amazon costs ₹447.45, while the paperback edition is priced at ₹2259.59 as well.
On Monday, July 29, James Anderson wrote on X: “As a player, you don’t get a chance to reflect much – there’s always the next game to play. Now I get to look back over my career and tell the unforgettable story of the journey so far.”
“My autobiography publishes this November. Signed copies available from @waterstones,” he added.

However, James Anderson, who received a fitting farewell from England, is the leading wicket-taker among pace bowlers in international cricket, including Tests (704 scalps). He claimed 991 wickets in 401 matches during his stunning career. He is only behind spinners – Australia’s Shane Warne (1001 wickets) and Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan (1347) as well.
Meanwhile, England all-rounder Moeen Ali recently paid rich tributes to James Anderson for his stunning career.
He wrote in his column for The Guardian: “I do not know anyone who loves playing cricket and representing England as much as Jimmy. The same goes for guys who hate losing. I got a taste of this in my second Test at Headingley when, nine down and after an hour and a half of us two digging in trying to save the series, he got out with two balls of the match to go.”
“There I was, two Tests into my England career, watching a guy who had already experienced and achieved so much in tears at the other end. I was gutted for him, rather than myself or the team, because he worked so hard and played so well. Test cricket is pretty unforgiving and people forget what this means for guys down the order, doing the thing they are not paid to do,” he concluded.
