Pavilion End at Trent Bridge rechristened The Stuart Broad End

The Pavilion End at Trent Bridge is to be rechristened The Stuart Broad End, in recognition of the former Nottinghamshire and England seamer. As the third day’s play during the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval came to a conclusion, Broad revealed his decision to retire from professional cricket, bringing the curtains down on an illustrious 17-year international career. Many of Broad’s finest hours with the red cherry in hand came while bowling from the End that will now bear his name.

Broad, one of only two fast bowlers to achieve the herculean feat of bagging 600 Test wickets, along with compatriot James Anderson, also recently became the third bowler to claim 150+ Test wickets in Ashes history. He finished as the fifth-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket. Broad picked up 604 wickets in Test cricket and 178 wickets in the 50-over format, which he played for the last time in 2016. In 56 T20I matches, the eventual of which came in 2014, Broad managed to nab 65 wickets.
