The full list: Every Test cricketer James Anderson has ever played against

Anderson is set to retire from international cricket following the first England-West Indies Test at Lord's starting July 10, 2024. It will be the 188th Test match he will feature in, making it the second-longest Test career for any player in the history of the game.

How many Players has Anderson Played Test Cricket against?

A total of 408 players have played against Anderson in Test cricket. Once the Lord's Test starts, that number will shoot up to 416, as West Indies have announced their XI a day ahead of the game and eight of those eleven players have not played against Anderson before.

Across formats, the count of Anderson's opponents rises to a whopping 672.

West Indies have announced their lineup for the first Test against England, starting on Wednesday.

A historic debut is on the horizon as Mikyle Louis is set to become the first Test cricketer from the island of St Kitts.
