James Anderson is one of the top fast bowlers in the world right now. Even at the age of 41, Anderson continues to represent the England cricket team in the Test format. Earlier this year, he attained the number one position in the ICC Test Rankings for bowlers.
Anderson has clarified that he has no intention of retiring this year. It looks like he wants to play in the next English summer as well. When cricketers cross the age of 35, they generally start thinking about retirement. Many players retire even before turning 40 and start working as coaches or commentators.
In this listicle now, we will look at the five such coaches of the current cricketing world who are younger than James Anderson.
1. Kieron Pollard is younger than James Anderson
Former West Indies captain Kieron Pollard is 36 years old. He has retired from all formats of international cricket and works as a batting coach for Mumbai Indians in the IPL.
2. Dwayne Bravo is younger than James Anderson
Dwayne Bravo is another former West Indies all-rounder to feature on this list. Bravo joined the Chennai Super Kings coaching staff as a bowling coach this year. He is 39 years old.
3. Darren Sammy
Former T20 World Cup winning captain Darren Sammy works as the head coach of the West Indies team in white-ball cricket. Sammy is 39 years old as well.
4. Dale Steyn
Former South African speedster Dale Steyn debuted shortly after Anderson in international cricket. Due to injuries, Steyn had to call it a day on his career in 2021. He now works as the fast-bowling coach for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
5. Abhishek Nayar
Former Indian all-rounder Abhishek Nayar has been the assistant coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders for quite some time now. Nayar is 39 years old, just like Bravo and Sammy.
