Renowned England pacer, Stuart Broad announced his retirement from Test cricket after the last of the five-match Ashes series against Australia at the Kia Oval.
Cricketers, experts, and fans were quick to extend their congratulations to Broad for his magnificent career in the purest format of cricket for 16 years.
Meanwhile, many former and current Pakistani cricketers also extended their wishes and appreciation to the right-arm pacer for his successful Test career.
The 37-year-old speedster represented the England team in 167 red-ball matches, taking 604 wickets in the format at an average of 27.68 and an economy rate of 2.97.
The right-arm fast bowler is fifth on the list of most wickets and the second-highest wicket-taking pacer after his teammate, James Anderson, in Test cricket.
Happy retirement, Broad!
You have truly honoured our game with sheer passion and thriving ability to always go hard at it.
600+ Test Wickets is quite an achievement and Cricket will always remember your services 👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/yey7mjdKn1
