James Anderson signs for Surrey for the 2027 season

James Anderson, the 44-year-old former England bowler and Test cricket's all-time leading wicket-taker among seamers, has agreed to join Surrey for the 2027 season. The move comes after Lancashire decided not to offer him a new contract as part of a squad rebuild following two seasons back with the county. Anderson, who turns 45 in July, has signed a red-ball only deal and expressed excitement about joining a strong Surrey squad competing in Division One. Despite ending his international career in 2024, Anderson stated that he still feels he has more to offer on the field and is motivated to win trophies with his new club.
