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

"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 at the top."

At the time of his retirement, Broad held the record for the second highest wicket taker in England Test cricket with 604.

Broad's achievements include being voted the Young Cricketer Of The Year by the Cricket Writers’ Club.
