English pace legend James Anderson will represent Manchester Originals in the upcoming season of The Hundred.
Originals used one of their two Wildcard picks on Anderson, ahead of the fifth year of the competition, which begins on August 5.
If Originals pick Anderson in their lineup this season, he will become the second-oldest player in the history of the tournament, after South Africa’s Imran Tahir, who was 43 years and 149 days old when he played in 2022.
The 42-year-old Anderson has been in solid form. In this year’s Vitality Blast, he has claimed 14 wickets in his first eight matches of the competition.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Rocky will join Northern Superchargers under the coaching of his father, Andrew Flintoff. Both were among the 32 players drafted in the wildcard selections for the fifth season, which begins on August 5.
