"I might be in a bit of denial because I'm well aware I won't play for England again, but I've still not made a decision on my actual cricket career," Anderson said, speaking at the launch of a new campaign by the England and Wales Cricket Board to get more children playing the sport.

"There's definitely a bit of intrigue with the shorter formats because I've not played any franchise stuff before. Watching The Hundred this year, seeing the ball swing around, it makes me feel like I could do a job there.

"I know it's a while since I played it and my age will get brought up again but I really feel I'll be good enough to play that form of cricket."

Anderson added he would make a decision on his future at the end of the summer and he is "not shutting myself off to anything".

Anderson's last T20 match was in 2014 as he dedicated the last 10 years of his career to red-ball cricket.

England are keen to tap into Anderson's expertise before the 2025 Ashes series in Australia by retaining him in a coaching role.

The ECB campaign which Anderson was supporting is encouraging more people to find their way to play, no matter if that is casual cricket at home, in the street, at the local park, at school, or at a local club or community project.
