Legendary England seamer Stuart Broad expressed his desire to groom the young bowlers from the country in the future. He is keen to take up a coaching role in the England team after announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2023. Broad, who is the second-highest wicket-taker for the Three Lions in international cricket with 847 scalps under his name, revealed that he has already had talks on the matter with England team's managing director Rob Key.
Broad is undoubtedly one of the best bowlers to don the England jersey and can be a great help for the young seamers from the country who want to make their mark in international cricket.
"It's certainly something I want to stay connected to, the coaching. I've chatted to Rob Key a little bit about doing some stuff with the younger bowlers in the England setups when the schedule suits," Broad told The Telegraph.
The former speedster also stated that he doesn't know when start to properly focus on coaching, but added that he will be giving it much more importance by next year.
"I haven't set any sort of targets or dates of coaching or what's to come, but probably next year I'd start looking at dipping my toe into it a little bit more," Broad added.
He seemed particularly excited with the prospect of coaching bowlers from the U17 or U19, who have the potential to become superstars for the England cricket team in the future.
Broad is eager to find the next Anderson and Archer
"The U19s or even U17s - you really know what you're developing, and you've got your base of technique, but the growth you can make between 15 and 20 is huge. What excites me the most is, where's the next Jofra Archer? Where's the next Jimmy Anderson? I watched on Instagram, Harry Moore, who's been out with a stress fracture. I look at him and go, 'huge talent, 6ft 6in, swings it both ways, hits good areas'," Broad stated.
"Where could he be in four years' time? Maybe even less than that? Where can you spot these players whose ceiling is very high?" he further added.
