Broad retired from international cricket in 2023 after playing 167 Tests and claiming 604 wickets to become the second-highest wicket-taker amongst fast bowlers in Test cricket history after Anderson. Since his retirement, Broad has made a smooth transition to cricket commentary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t set any sort of targets or dates of coaching or what\u2019s to come, but probably next year I\u2019d start looking at dipping my toe into it a little bit more. It\u2019s certainly something I want to stay connected to, the coaching.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve chatted to Rob Key a little bit about doing some stuff with the younger bowlers in the England setups when the schedule suits. The U19s or even U17s \u2013 you really know what you\u2019re developing, and you\u2019ve got your base of technique, but the growth you can make between 15 and 20 is huge,\u201d Broad was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Broad had also served as consultant for South Africa ahead of facing Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord\u2019s in June. Though he was commentating on the final, Broad remained in touch with South Africa\u2019s players, and was thrilled to see then beat Australia to lift their first-ever WTC crown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want to come in with loads, and that\u2019s why I wanted to tell the coaches everything, and then they can feed back to the players a bit. I was really conscious that I didn\u2019t want to come in with loads of information before one of the biggest games of their careers. I just chatted to the bowlers about different things.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYou can try getting wider on the crease from the Nursery End a little bit, so you can draw the batters into playing. And we talked about the lengths you try and hit at Lord\u2019s; how the conditions can change in the blink of an eye. Sometimes it might do nothing; get a bit of cloud and you can pick up three wickets in that hour,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Broad further said he supports England men\u2019s managing director Key\u2019s plan to involve former cricketers Anderson Flintoff and Graeme Swann in coaching roles to help strengthen the country\u2019s cricketers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhat excites me the most is, where\u2019s the next Jofra Archer? Where\u2019s the next Jimmy Anderson? I watched on Instagram, Harry Moore, who\u2019s been out with a stress fracture. I look at him and go, \u2018huge talent, 6ft 6in, swings it both ways, hits good areas\u2019 Where could he be in four years\u2019 time? Maybe even less than that? Where can you spot these players whose ceiling is very high?\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
