Stuart Christopher John Broad announces his retirement from international cricket.
The English player was born on June 24, 1986. He debuted for England and now announced his retirement.
Broad is a right-arm seam bowler and a left-handed batsman.
He started his professional career in Leicestershire, after which he transferred to Nottinghamshire in 2008.
Broad always followed in his father’s footsteps, who was an opener for the England team and is currently ICC match referee Chris Broad.
Debut
He started his career with the England U-19 squad.
In his first test against the Sri Lanka U-19 squad, he took a haul of five wickets for seventeen runs.
In 2005–06, he was called up for the England A squad for the tour of the West Indies.
He was called in as a replacement for James Anderson, who was shifted to the England team that was going on a tour of India.
England team call-up
For the first time, he was included in the England one-day squad for the ODI internationals against Pakistan.
He was also called to the finals of the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy due to injuries to John Lewis and Chris Tremlett.
After that, the carrier started for Broad as he started to play frequent matches for England.
Starting in 2006, after playing for almost a decade, he decided to limit himself to test matches.
In 2014, he played his last T-20I against the Netherlands.
Two years later, in 2016, he played his last ODI match against South Africa.
Carrier stats
He was an all-rounder but mainly focused on his bowling.

Whereas in the T-20I, he played 56 games in which he took 65 wickets with an economy of 7.63.
Test Matches
He mainly considered himself the test player, and so does his bowling career speak.
He was witnessed in 167 test matches, in which he took 604 wickets.
Broad clinched five wickets haul twenty times and ten wickets haul three times in his career.
He got a farewell like many wishes, and in the last deliveries of his spell, he took the wickets of the Australian batsmen.
And on the last ball, he played, he hit a great six, and then the journey of Stuart Broad officially ended.
