James ‘Jimmy’ Anderson OBE is England’s most successful cricket bowler. He made his first-class debut for Lancashire at 19 and his One Day International (ODI) debut for England at 20. Over the years, he has become a key player in England’s ascent to the number one Test team in the world.

He was named England’s player of the year in 2012 and holds the record for the most international wickets by an English bowler. Beyond cricket, Jimmy co-hosts the popular podcast Tailenders for BBC Radio 5 Live alongside writer Felix White and radio presenter Greg James.

He served as executive producer for the documentary Warriors, which follows a group of young Maasai in Kenya who form a cricket team. The film documents their journey as they aim to reach England and compete in the amateur ‘Last Man Stands World Championship.’ Jimmy is also a dedicated ambassador for several charities, including Nordoff Robbins, The James Milner Foundation, and the LCCC Foundation.
