Retiring Broad is a Special Cricketer: Dravid

Bridgetown: India head coach Rahul Dravid has described the retiring England fast bowler Stuart Broad as a “special cricketer”, whose great partnership with James Anderson will be remembered for ages.

The 37-year-old Broad on Saturday announced that he will retire from international cricket after the conclusion of the ongoing final Ashes Test against Australia at The Kia Oval in London. “He (Broad) has been a terrific bowler, he has been a great. His partnership with Jimmy Anderson will always be remembered,” Dravid said after India lost to West Indies by six wickets in the second ODI here.

“Anderson and Broad the whole decade they played for England, they have really put in some fantastic performances,” said the batting legend and former India captain.
