Read our privacy policy Stuart Broad has revealed he was so disheartened after being dropped for England’s first Test match against West Indies last month that he considered retiring from cricket. Broad, 34, joined the team for the second and third Tests and was one of England’s best performers as they fought back to claim the series 2-1. A different decision could definitely have been made with my emotions of how I was feeling.” Broad said his family helped him to get through the difficult period, as did Ben Stokes, who captained England for the first time during the first Test. I have always had a huge amount of respect for Stokes and I will be friends with him for life, but what he did almost added to that.” On the final day of England’s series against West Indies, Broad became the seventh player in history to take 500 Test wickets.
