England coach Brendon McCullum has held talks with leading wicket-taker James Anderson about the veteran bowler’s future.
McCullum told Anderson, who turns 42 in July, that England are looking to build a bowling attack for the future.
It is not clear whether Anderson has played his last Test or if he will get a farewell this summer.
Anderson has taken 700 wickets in 187 Tests – the most by any pace bowler in Test history.
He played four of England’s five Tests in India last winter, taking 10 wickets.
England do not play a Test until July when they begin a three-match series against West Indies. That is followed by another three Tests against Sri Lanka in August and September.
The Sri Lanka series begins at Emirates Old Trafford, Anderson’s home ground.
As first reported in the Guardian, external, McCullum and Anderson discussed the bowler’s future over a round of golf.
