G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

England fast bowler James Anderson can play in America's Major Premier League-2024. BBC has claimed that after Anderson's statement of return, a franchise of the American League is interested in associating him with them. Not only this, the franchise is trying to contact him and wants to know whether he wants to play the Major Premier League or not.

The 42-year-old fast bowler had said last week

I am still fit enough to continue my cricket career and am considering returning to white-ball cricket.

Anderson, England's top wicket-taker in Tests, retired 4 months ago against the West Indies at Lord's. He has 704 Test wickets to his name. Anderson has become England's bowling mentor. He said last week that he would remain the fast bowling mentor for England's Test series against Pakistan in October.

Anderson can earn 12 lakh 58 thousand from MLC

The report wrote that Anderson can earn around 12 lakh 58 thousand rupees (£135,000) in a short tenure of MLC. The league has attracted big players for the 2024 season. These include names like Australian captain Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head.

Played last competitive T20 10 years ago

Anderson played his last competitive T20 match in 2014. He played the last match in the Blast for Lancashire. Anderson's decision to devote the last 10 years of his career to red-ball cricket means he has never played franchise cricket abroad, but he believes he is fit enough and good enough to play this format.

Jason Roy left the central contract last year

The American league wants to associate with England's top cricketers. England's World Cup winning team members Liam Plunkett and Jason Roy have been part of the league for the last 2 seasons. Roy left EBC's white-ball contract of Rs 65 lakh (70,000 euros) to sign a 2-year deal with Los Angeles Knight Riders for Rs 2 crore 79 lakh (300,000 euros) in May 2023.

MLC launched in 2023, got List-A status from ICC

MLC started in 2023. Then a 19-match tournament was played. MI New York won the title of the first season and Washington Freedom won the title of 2024. The number of matches will also be increased in the next season.
