Broad started his professional career with Leicestershire. He bowls seam with his right arm and bats with his left. In 2008, he moved to Nottinghamshire, which is where he was born and where his father played. In August of 2006, he was chosen as the Young Cricketer of the Year by the Cricket Writers’ Club. Broad’s 8–15 in the first innings of Australia’s first innings in the fourth Test of the 2015 Ashes series was the best of his career. Australia was out for just 60 runs. This was named the best Men’s Test spell of the decade by Wisden.
Early life of Stuart Broad:
Broad was born 12 weeks early, and a doctor named John saved his life. When he got better, he was named after John. At 16 years old, he thought he was better at hockey and played as a custodian for Leicestershire, the Midlands and England’s junior team. At 17, he had a growth spurt that made him taller and changed him from a batter to a seam bowler.
Broad started out as an opening batsman in cricket, just like his father, who was an opening batsman for England and is now an ICC match judge. He didn’t think about becoming a fast bowler until he was 17 and had a growth spurt.
Education of Stuart Broad
Broad went to Brooke Priory School and Oakham School, a co-ed private school in the market town of Oakham in Rutland where England Rugby back-rower Tom Croft was in the same year as Broad. Broad got three Bs on his A-levels and could choose between going to Durham University or signing a deal with Leicestershire County Cricket Club.
Domestic career of Stuart Broad:
Broad played his first game for the Leicestershire 2nd XI just before he turned 18 in 2004. He did so well that he was given a full deal for the next season. Broad kept impressing Director of Cricket James Whitaker, and he played his first game against Durham University Centre of Cricketing Excellence early in the 2005 season. He got a respectable score of 1/40 in 15 overs. Nick Lamb was the first player he bowled out in a first-class match. Broad then played in his first County Championship game against Somerset at Oakham, where he had already played.
Broad decided not to renew his contract with Leicestershire and go back to his home county of Nottinghamshire. On August 23, 2007, it was revealed that he would be leaving Leicestershire at the end of the season to join Nottinghamshire. Broad was on the Nottinghamshire team that won the Royal London One Day Cup at Lords in 2017 by beating Surrey.
International career of Stuart Broad:
Broad took five for seventeen in the opening “Test” at Shenley for England Under-19 against Sri Lanka in 2005. He replaced James Anderson in the England “A” squad touring the West Indies after Anderson was called up to the Test team touring India. Broad again played for England an Against Sri Lanka in April 2006. He was selected Young Cricketer of the Year by the Cricket Writers’ Club two days after being named to England’s one-day team for the Pakistan series on 23 August 2006. Broad debuted for England in the Twenty20 International against Pakistan on 28 August.
Broad had an equally good ODI series against New Zealand. He took the most wickets and had the highest batting average (52), but England lost three-one. Broad was selected Man of the Series (one-day) against the West Indies in England on 26 May 2009. After the first ODI was rained out, England won the series two-nil with his six wickets. Broad’s injury kept him out of the two twenty20 matches in South Africa, which were abandoned. England won the second ODI by 7 wickets after Paul Collingwood and Jonathan Trott had a 162-run partnership.
Broad stood his ground after being given not out when he edged an Ashton Agar delivery that deflected off wicket-keeper Brad Haddin’s gloves and was caught by Australia captain Michael Clarke at first slip in the first Test of the 2013 Ashes at Trent Bridge. Australia had used all of its challenges when the incident occurred. Broad became the youngest fast bowler to take 400 Test wickets in the first Test against New Zealand on 22 March 2018. Broad grabbed his 100th Ashes wicket in the first innings in the 2019 Ashes opener. David Warner was his 450th Test wicket in the second innings.
