James Anderson 

James Anderson is one of the greatest ever Test bowlers the world has ever witnessed. The talismanic pacer is the highest wicket-taking seam bowler in the history of Test cricket. He is third on the list for most wickets in Test cricket with 621 scalps (at an average of 26.67) and even at the age of 39 he still can demolish batting lineups.

However, the right-arm pacer had opted not to participate in the shortest format of the game. The last T20I match he played was in 2009. In 19 T20I matches, he has picked 18 wickets at an economy rate of 7.85 and the best bowling figures of 3/23.
