Cricketer Anderson named OBE
London:Fast bowler James Anderson has been honoured by the Queen after becoming England cricket’s leading Test wicket-taker.
Anderson was named an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the annual Queen’s birthday honours list.
“This means an enormous amount to me and my family. I’m very proud of my recent achievements and this just caps it off. These achievements wouldn’t have been possible without the help and support of my family, friends and everyone at Burnley, Lancashire and England,” Anderson said.
The honour caps an impressive 12 months for the 32-year-old right-armer after he overtook Ian Botham’s mark of 383 scalps to become his country’s leading Test wicket-taker during England’s drawn series in the West Indies.
Anderson became the the first England bowler to take 400 Test wickets – Test cricket’s 12th overall – in the Headingley defeat to New Zealand.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
