England pacer Stuart Broad has announced his retirement from international cricket. It will come into effect after the ongoing fifth Test of the Ashes 2023. After the Day 3 of the game (July 29), the T20 World Cup 2010 winner came down to speak to the home broadcasters, Sky Sports Cricket. The panelists were surprised to see as they were expecting an England batter to talk to them.

After all, the home side has taken a lead of 377 runs and has one wicket in hand. The last pair of Broad and James Anderson is batting at the crease. Meanwhile, after being asked by the panel, the former announced his retirement from international cricket. He said that it was the right time for him to be on top of his game. The right-arm bowler added that he made the decision on the night of Day 2.

Obviously, it was a pretty tough day: Stuart Broad

After the announcement, the former Punjab Kings player in the IPL held a press conference. One of the questions was about the six sixes he got hit for during the T20 World Cup 2007 game against eventual champions India. Yuvraj Singh did the honors.

Looking back, the Nottingham player said that it was a tough day. However, he added that it was a dead rubber, which made it easier for him to come out. Apparently, the Three Lions were knocked out in the Super Eight round before playing India as they lost to South Africa and New Zealand.

Yeah, it was obviously a pretty tough day. What would I have been: 21, 22? <22> I learnt loads. I pretty much based a whole mental routine through that experience knowing that I was left very short as an international performer in that moment. I'd rushed my preparation. I didn't have any sort of pre-ball routine. I didn't have any focus, particularly, and I started building my 'warrior mode' that I call it after that experience.

Ultimately, of course, I wish that didn't happen. I think what really helped me was it was a dead rubber, so it didn't feel like I'd knocked us out of the World Cup or something. But I think it steeled me up to make me the competitor I am to this day and has driven me forward a huge amount.
