The 37-year-old made the announcement on Saturday after the end of day three in the fifth and final test against Australia at the Oval.
Broad, who has taken 602 wickets in 167 tests, will leave the game as the second most successful paceman in Test history behind teammate James Anderson, and fifth overall.
“It’s been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge as much as I have,” said Broad.
India head coach Rahul Dravid paid tribute to Broad and recalled his career. Complimenting Broad’s longevity in the game, Dravid said that Broad’s bowling partnership with Anderson is something that will be cherished in years to come.
“I think he has been a terrific bowler. I think his partnership with Jimmy Anderson is something that will always be remembered”, said Dravid
