When did Stuart Broad retire from cricket?
Stuart announced he was retiring from his cricket career in 2023 after a 17 year career.
He revealed the news to Sky Sports on the Oval turf before the final Test of the summer.
He said: “It’s been a wonderful ride and a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge as much as I have.
“I’ve been thinking about it for the last few weeks but England vs Australia has always been the pinnacle for me.
“I’ve loved the battles I’ve had with Australia. I’ve got a love affair with Ashes cricket and I think I wanted my last bat and bowl to be in Ashes cricket.”
He added: “I’m loving cricket as much as I ever have.
“It’s been such a wonderful series to be a part of and I’ve always wanted to finish it at the top.”
