England pacer Stuart Broad stuns world by announcing retirement

London: England pacer Stuart Broad has announced his decision to retire from the sport at the end of the ongoing Ashes Test.

Broad called time on his 17-year-old career at the end of Day 3 of the final Ashes Test at The Oval.

"Tomorrow or Monday will be my last game of cricket," Broad said on Saturday. "It's been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge for as much as I have.

"I've always wanted to finish at the top, and this series just feels like it's been one of the most enjoyable I've been part of." (UNI)
