England’s legendary fast bowler James Anderson has been knighted by Princess Anne at a ceremony in Windsor Castle, marking a historic honour for his remarkable cricketing career. Anderson, who retired from international cricket in July 2024, holds the record for the most wickets by a pace bowler in Test history (704), ranking third globally behind Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne. His knighthood, announced in Rishi Sunak’s 2025 resignation honours, places him among cricketing greats like Sir Ian Botham, Sir Alastair Cook and Sir Andrew Strauss—a tribute to his enduring excellence and contribution to the sport.
