Stuart Christopher John Broad CBE (born 24 June 1986) is a retired English cricketer who played Test cricket for the England cricket team. He was also a captain for England's One Day and Twenty20 International teams. Broad was a key player in the England team that won the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.
He is known as one of England's greatest Test bowlers. He had a famous and successful partnership with fellow fast bowler James Anderson. As a right-arm seam bowler and a left-handed batsman, Broad had a long and successful career.
On 29 July 2023, Broad announced he would retire from cricket. In his final match, he did something amazing. He hit a six on the last ball he ever faced as a batsman. Then, with the very last ball he ever bowled, he took a wicket to win the match for England.

Early Life and Career
Broad was born in Nottingham, England. As a teenager, he was also a talented hockey player and played as a goalkeeper for Leicestershire. He even had a trial for an England youth team. He attended Oakham School, where he was in the same year as England rugby player Tom Croft.
Broad started his cricket career as a batsman, just like his father, Chris Broad, who also played for England. But when he was 17, he grew much taller and decided to become a fast bowler. He first played professionally for Leicestershire before moving to Nottinghamshire in 2008.
International Career
Making his Debut
Broad first played for the England Under-19 team in 2005. He was quickly noticed for his talent. In August 2006, he was chosen for the England one-day squad to play against Pakistan. He made his Twenty20 International debut in the same month, taking two wickets in two balls.
Broad made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in December 2007. Over the next few years, he became a very important player for England in all forms of the game.
Becoming an Ashes Hero
Broad was a star in many The Ashes series against Australia. In the fifth Test of the 2009 Ashes, he took 5 wickets for 37 runs. This amazing performance helped England win the match and the series. He was named Man of the Match.
His most famous Ashes moment came in 2015. In the fourth Test, Broad took an incredible 8 wickets for just 15 runs (8/15). Australia was bowled out for only 60 runs. This was named the best bowling performance of the decade by Wisden.
Major Achievements and Milestones
Broad was a talented batsman as well as a bowler. In 2010, against Pakistan, he scored 169 runs. This is the second-highest score ever by a number 9 batsman in Test cricket. He and Jonathan Trott set a world record for the eighth-wicket partnership, scoring 332 runs together.
In 2011, against India, he took a hat-trick, which is when a bowler takes three wickets with three consecutive balls. He became the first English player to take two Test hat-tricks when he got another one against Sri Lanka in 2014.
In 2012, he had his best match bowling figures of 11 wickets for 165 runs against the West Indies at Lord's.
Later Career and Retirement
Broad continued to be a top bowler for England for many years. In 2018, he took his 400th Test wicket. In 2020, he became the seventh bowler in history to take 500 Test wickets.
During the 2023 Ashes series, he reached another huge milestone by taking his 600th Test wicket. He is only the second fast bowler, after his teammate James Anderson, to reach this number.
After the 2023 Ashes series, Broad retired from cricket. His career ended with a fairytale finish, hitting a six with his last bat and taking a wicket with his last ball.
