Australia's Ashes rival joins Proteas ahead of WTC25 Final
167-Test hero Stuart Broad to act as South Africa consultant for ICC World Test Championship Final.
Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad will join the South Africa squad as a consultant in a bid to help the team with their preparation for this month's World Test Championship Final.
Taking on his first coaching role since retiring in 2023, Broad will attend Proteas training on June 9 at Lord's as Temba Bavuma's side aim to dethrone Australia as defending World Test Championship mace-holders.
Broad took 604 wickets in 167 Tests, second on England's all-time list, of which he took 153 of those against Australia, the most by any player in red-ball history. The fast bowler also boasts a strong record at Lord’s, taking 113 wickets in 28 Test matches.
The Proteas have convened in the UK and face Zimbabwe at Arundel Castle Cricket Ground in Sussex from Tuesday in their Final build-up, before their meeting with Australia on June 11.
Australia are defending champions, having beaten India at The Oval in 2023.
