Babar Azam made a mistake in his tribute post for James Anderson, who retired from international cricket after the England vs West Indies 1st Test 2024. The veteran fast bowler, one of the best to have played the game, hung up his boots and bid adieu to the sport and expectedly, tributes poured in from all sides, congratulating him on his career. Pakistan's white-ball captain Babar Azam also penned a tribute but made an error when he wrote a post, the first line of which was, "It was a privilege to face your cutters, Jimmy!" Anderson was one of the greatest exponents of swing bowling and this mistake on Babar's post was noticed by fans. Soon after, he deleted the post and wrote another one, this time replacing the word 'cutters' with 'swing.' James Anderson Retires: England Legend Confirms to Stay With the Team For Remainder of the Series Against West Indies As Bowling Consultant (Watch Video).
