Stuart Broad has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket at the conclusion of the 2023 Men's Ashes series. 

The Nottinghamshire seamer confirmed his decision on Sky Sports at the conclusion of day three of the Ashes Test at The Oval. 

"It's been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and the England badge as much as I have," he said. 

"I've been thinking about it for the last few weeks but England v Australia has always been the pinnacle for me.

"I've loved the battles I've had with Australia. I've got a love affair with Ashes cricket and I think I wanted my last bat and bowl to be in Ashes cricket.

"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.

"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."
