STUART BROAD is to follow James Anderson and have an end at his home ground named after him.
The Pavilion End at Trent Bridge will be known as the Stuart Broad End.
Broad, 37, played county cricket for Nottinghamshire and two of his most memorable performances for England were at Trent Bridge.
He took a hat-trick against India in 2011 and then returned the remarkable figures of 8-15 in the Ashes Test of 2015.
The old Pavilion End at Old Trafford is now the James Anderson End to celebrate the Lancashire swing king’s performances for county and country.

Broad retired at the end of this summer’s Ashes series but Anderson plays on at the age of 41 and hopes to be chosen for England’s five-Test tour of India early next year.
Broad, who started his career at Leicestershire, said: “When I first visited Trent Bridge, as a kid with dreams of pulling on the Nottinghamshire and England jerseys.
"I could never have imagined I’d be fortunate enough to enjoy so many memorable moments in the game.
"It’s a bit surreal to think that part of the ground where I fell in love with cricket will now bear my name.
"Playing for Notts has meant so much to me and I’ve been so grateful that, wherever my career has taken me, I’ve always been able to come home to Trent Bridge.
