Anderson, who took 704 wickets in 188 games for England, did not officially call time on his career and is now considering a return to the white-ball format.
He recently joined the England coaching staff as a fast-bowling mentor following his retirement, and is helping Ben Stokes and the side ahead of their Test series with Sri Lanka next week.
However, the 42-year-old is now pondering potential avenues for a return to the T20 Arena or even in next season's Hundred competition.
Anderson has dedicated the last 10 years to red-ball cricket, not featuring in a 20-over game since 2014, but feels "still fit enough" to prolong his illustrious career.
"I might be in a bit of denial because I'm well aware I won't play for England again, but I've still not made a decision on my actual cricket career," Anderson told the Press Association.
"There's definitely a bit of intrigue with the shorter formats because I've not played any franchise stuff before.
"Watching The Hundred this year, seeing the ball swing around, it makes me feel like I could do a job there.
"I know it's a while since I played it and my age will get brought up again but I really feel I'll be good enough to play that form of cricket."
