James Anderson has announced he will be retiring from international cricket after England's first Test against the West Indies this summer.
Anderson, known as Jimmy, is England's highest Test wicket-taker of all-time and is one of only three bowlers, and the only seam bowler, to reach 700 Test wickets.
"It's been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game I've loved since I was a kid", he said in a statement on Instagram.
"I'm going to miss walking out for England so much. But I know the time is right to step aside and let others realise their dreams just like I got to, because there is no greater feeling."
Anderson, 41, thanked "everyone who has supported me over the years".
"It's always meant a lot, even if my face often doesn't show it," he added.
Anderson took his 700th in his most recent outing against India in Dharamsala in March.
He has decided to call time on his Test career after talks with England head coach Brendon McCullum, who wants to modify his side's seam attack and build towards the future with one eye on the 2025-26 Ashes.
The Lancashire bowler, who has played an English record 187 Test matches, after making his debut in 2003, has taken his wickets at an average of under 27 each.
In a stellar career, he has played in four Ashes-winning teams as well as in the England squad that won the 2010 T-20 World Cup.
He played in 194 ODIs and 19 T20s before his international white-ball career ended in 2015 - the same year he overtook Sir Ian Botham's 383 dismissals to become England's record Test wicket-taker.
Three years later, he overhauled Glenn McGrath's total of 563 Test wickets to become the most prolific fast bowler of all time.
His long-time, bowling partner, Stuart Broad, retired last summe, but Anderson decided not to join him.
Instead, he carried on to play in four of England's five Tests in the 4-1 defeat in India earlier this year.
Perhaps inevitably, his figures have started to slip and in the last 12 months, he has taken only 15 wickets in eight Tests at an average of 51 each.
In 2011, he was awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Burnley, where he was born and raised. Four years later, he was made an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours "for services to cricket".
