The opportunity to represent the country for 20 years has been a wonderful experience. I love to play cricket since childhood. I will miss those moments of playing for England. But I think this is the best time to step back. Others should be given a chance to fulfill their dreams. I got the opportunity. I have no regrets about this decision.” Apart from family members, Anderson thanked all the coaches, teammates, supporters and everyone involved.
