Speaking about his return to Lancashire, Anderson Phillip said: “I really enjoyed my spell with Lancashire at the end of last season and I am excited by the opportunity to return for the 2025 season to spend a longer period of time at Emirates Old Trafford.
“Helping Lancashire return to Division One at the first time of asking is my number one priority for next season and hopefully I can put in the performances with the ball which can help the team to achieve that.
“The standard of First-Class cricket in England is high and as close as you can get to playing Test cricket, so I am looking forward to being back next summer, continuing to test myself in those conditions, learning and improving my game.”
Director of Cricket Performance Mark Chilton commented: “We were hugely impressed by Anderson’s performances during the final three matches of last season and jumped at the opportunity to bring him back for a longer spell next season.
“Dale and I have continually spoken about our desire to add further pace to our bowling attack as we look to win more red ball matches. We know that Anderson will offer that, and he has the added bonus of familiarity with our environment.
“Anderson displayed a really good attitude during his time with us and we believe that he has all the right attributes for a fast bowler - with room to still grow and improve his game. We are looking forward to working with Anderson again next season and helping him to push on and achieve his international ambitions.”
