Legendary Australia cricketer Glenn McGrath has praised Stuart Broad after the England pacer announced his shock retirement from Test cricket on Day 3 of the final Test match of the Ashes 2023. Broad, who was not out at the end of day’s play revealed to Sky Sports that it will be his final Test match.
Speaking about his decision, Broad said that he thought it was the right time to leave the international stage, when he was still on top of his game.
“It’s been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and the England badge as much as I have and I’m loving cricket as much as I ever have. It’s been such a wonderful series to be a part of and I’ve always wanted to finish it on top. This series feels like one of the most enjoyable and entertaining I’ve been a part of,” Broad said on Sky Sports.
“I told Stokesy last night and told the changing room this morning and to be honest, it felt the right time. I didn’t want friends or teammates at Nottinghamshire to see things that might come out so I prefer to just say it and give it a good crack for the last Australia innings,” Broad further added.
