England bowler Stuart Broad has announced his retirement from cricket.
The 37-year-old will end his career after this summer’s Ashes series against Australia.
He made the “emotional” announcement after day three of the fifth test match at The Oval, with England looking to tie the series at 2-2.
“I decided at 8.30pm last night,” he told Sky Sports.
“I have been thinking about it for a couple of weeks. England vs Australia has always been the pinnacle for me.
“I have loved the battles that have come my way and the team’s way. I have a love affair with Ashes cricket.
“I think I wanted my last bat and bowl to be in Ashes cricket.”
