He has now threatened the England and Wales Cricket Board not to play in the upcoming matches of the live series while speaking to a newspaper.

he said,

“If the pitches are going to be similar in the rest of the Ashes series, I won’t see myself playing any further in this series. Such pitches are very bad for me. I haven’t seen any kind of swing, reverse swing, speed and bounce here.”

After his statement, many have criticized him saying that you can only bowl on pitches that help fast bowling. Anderson is the only fast bowler to take more than 600 wickets in Test cricket.
