LONDON: Former England fast bowler James Anderson and Rocky Flintoff, son of former England all-rounder Andrew, have been selected as wildcard picks for The Hundred 2025, the league announced on Tuesday.
Anderson, 42, who retired from international duty in July last year, was initially overlooked in The Hundred draft but secured his place with Manchester Originals during the wildcard selections.
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 Aug 5.
Anderson returned to T20 cricket this year after an 11-year hiatus, claiming 14 wickets in eight matches for Lancashire in the T20 Blast.
鈥淚鈥檓 really looking forward to The Hundred, and I鈥檓 really happy to be part of the Manchester Originals squad. I鈥檝e loved my time with Lancashire this season, so I鈥檓 excited to have the opportunity to add value in The Hundred,鈥 Anderson said.
