Stuart Broad, widely regarded as one of the greatest players England have ever produced, called time on his international career after an unforgettable Ashes series at home. Broad spearheaded England in the final session of the fifth and final Test at The Oval in London, to help the Ben Stokes-led side win the game and level the five-game series 2-2.
The 37-year-old is only the second English player and fifth overall to reach that milestone, joining an elite group of bowlers with over 600 Test match wickets. In 167 matches in red-ball cricket, he made 604 scalps at an average of 27.68.
Broad wrote a book about himself following the end of an unparalleled 17-year-long cricket career. In his autobiography, he opened up about his incredible journey through the experiences that formed him, from breaking onto the scene to becoming a vital part of the new-look England team. He has shared about the hardships, sacrifices, and unwavering drive that have helped him become one of the best bowlers of all time.
“It’s been one of the most fun & entertaining summers of my career. Despite finishing on a glorious high at The Oval in the Ashes it’s been 17 years of peaks & troughs, I’ve loved it. In the comments I’ll put the link for pre order!” Broad wrote on Twitter.
