England’s Stuart Broad has announced his decision to retire from professional cricket. The ongoing fifth Ashes Test will be his last match and Australia’s second innings his final chance to add to 602 Test wickets.
“I knew deep down that I wanted to finish playing cricket at the very top,” the 37-year-old Broad said. “Part of me wanted to know that I could still do it. I’ve had a love affair with the Ashes my whole life and the thought of being able to bowl my last ball against Australia is something that fills me with joy.”
