Self-proclaimed Test “addict” Stuart Broad was able to quit on his own terms, announcing on Saturday he would retire following the Ashes finale at The Oval.
After stumps on the third day of a Test in which England are pressing for a series-levelling win against their arch-rivals might seem an odd time to make such a statement.
But Broad, 37, has never been shy of going his own way in a 167-match career that has yielded 602 Test wickets so far -- the fifth-highest tally by any bowler.
