Stuart Broad announces his retirement from cricket at end of final Ashes Test
England bowler Stuart Broad will retire from Test cricket following the Ashes.
The 37-year-old made the announcement at stumps on day three of the final Test against Australia at the Kia Oval.
Broad has taken 602 wickets in 167 Tests, making him the second most successful paceman in Test history behind team-mate James Anderson.
“Tomorrow or Monday will be my last game of cricket,” he told Sky Sports.
“It’s been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge as much as I have.
“It’s been a wonderful series to be part of and I’ve always wanted to finish at the top. This series just feels like it’s been one of the most enjoyable and entertaining that I’ve been part of.”
