REUTERS: England fast bowler James Anderson believes the extended break afforded to him by cricket's suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic could prolong his career by up to two years.

"The break could just add on a year or two at the end of my career," 37-year-old Anderson, test cricket's most prolific fast bowler with 584 wickets, said on the Tailenders podcast. England wicket-keeper Jos Buttler previously said the shutdown had allowed cricketers to recharge their batteries and could prove beneficial in the long run.With games set to be played without fans, Anderson believes that crowd noise should be piped in to improve the atmosphere in stadiums.
