"I love Nottingham being my home, I love playing for the club and I certainly can't envisage myself playing for any other county."

"Every time I step out at Trent Bridge, it feels just as special as the first time I walked onto the turf at three or four years old," he added.

Last year, Broad enjoyed stellar success on the international stage, helping himself to 30 Test wickets at an average of 23 across England's home Tests before taking more wickets than any of his countrymen during the winter tour of South Africa.

Broad, who signed for Notts from Leicestershire in 2008, enjoyed a Testimonial Year in 2019 and was instrumental in trophy successes for his county in 2010, 2013 and 2017.
