England Cricket Duo Of Stuart Broad And Marcus Trescothick Named In New Year’s Honours List
BBC Sports Personality: England cricket duo of former players Stuart Broad and Marcus Trescothick have both been named in the New Year’s Honours List. Broad, 37, who retired from cricket this summer with 604 Test wickets to his name, is awarded a Commanders of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his services to cricket.
With 604 scalps in Tests, Broad sits at fifth place on the all-time list of wicket-takers in the format, and is one of only two fast bowlers to take over 600 wickets, his long-time bowling partner Anderson. Broad has also picked 178 wickets in 121 ODIs and 65 wickets in 56 T20Is since his international debut in August 2006.
Broad retired on a high from international cricket in July this year after hitting a six on the last ball he faced and took the final wicket in England’s fifth Test victory in the Men’s Ashes at The Oval, securing a 2-2 series draw. He also earned himself a second place in BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards.
