Farbrace, who moved from Sussex at the end of the season, has not yet officially started in his new role at Lancashire but delivered the news to Anderson at a meeting last week alongside chief executive Richard Kenyon, who has also recently been appointed.<\/p>\n

The news was first reported on Wednesday and Lancashire did not comment officially until Sunday. At a meeting with members on Monday, the club said they would look into arranging Anderson a farewell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It shows a lack of leadership at that club,” said Broad, whose combined total of Test wickets with Anderson stands at a record 1,039 in 138 Tests. <\/p>\n

“It shows a lack of doing it the right way. <\/p>\n

“Paul Farbrace is new, but where is the chair? Where is the board demanding that this is done in a better way?”<\/p>\n

Speaking publicly for the first time since the decision on Sunday, Anderson, who also had his England career cut short in 2024 in similar circumstances<\/a>, expressed his sadness at the situation<\/a> but stopped short of retiring.<\/p>\n

Other counties are understood to be interested<\/a> in signing the veteran.<\/p>\n

“I get the thought process, ‘we could probably get two half-decent cricketers for the one and losing that salary’,” Broad added.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t surprise me that some counties have already been on the phone and seeing what his interest levels are. <\/p>\n

“I don’t know what his next steps are. I think his statement was quite interesting. <\/p>\n

“There will be a lot of counties that want him. He offers a huge amount, he’s still one of the best bowlers in the country.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farbrace, who moved from Sussex at the end of the season, has not yet officially started in his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":643138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-643137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=643137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/643138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=643137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=643137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=643137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
