Stuart Broad has expressed disappointment with Lancashire's treatment of James Anderson, calling it disrespectful. The 44-year-old bowler's contract with the club will not be renewed, concluding his long tenure. Anderson, who captained the team last season, was part of the squad for 26 years. The decision comes as the club looks to restructure following a poor County Championship campaign.

Lancashire's incoming director of cricket, Paul Farbrace, aims to rebuild the team for future success. Anderson, England's leading wicket-taker, was released despite his contributions. The club is exploring potential farewell events for the veteran player, who has been a key figure in their history.
