Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad has signed off from his commentary role after the recent Ashes 2025-26 series, where Australia secured a 4-1 victory. The legendary cricketer said that he enjoyed every moment of the experience in Australia, adding that there is a lot of joy in Test match cricket.
Ben Stokes and his England side went through a tough Ashes tour in Australia, where things unraveled both on and off the field. Poor performances, along with repeated controversies, kept hurting the team throughout the series, with head coach Brendon McCullum and Stokes also coming under focus.
I Loved Every Single Moment Of It – Stuart Broad
Stuart Broad wrapped up his Ashes commentary stint with SEN, saying the experience meant a lot to him. Broad shared that he enjoyed every part of it and felt the excitement and joy of Test cricket throughout, hoping listeners could sense that passion as well.
“I’ve loved every single moment of it. There’s a lot of joy for Test Match Cricket, and I’m sure the listeners can hear that,” Broad said.
Australia sealed the series in just 11 days of play by taking a 3-0 lead in the five-match contest. England managed a brief comeback with a win in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, their first victory in Australia since 2010-11.
However, England suffered another heavy defeat in Sydney. Fans and former players slammed the Bazball approach, poor accountability, and relaxed off-field behaviour. The team’s mid-series trip to Noosa, where players were seen drinking, added to the backlash and frustration around the tour.
