Broad, who has recently shifted from playing cricket to broadcasting, will be embarking on his first coaching role with the South African cricket team as they prepare to face Australia.
The WTC Final is scheduled to commence on June 11 at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Broad’s vast experience in international cricket is expected to provide the Proteas with valuable insights, helping them craft strategies to counter the formidable Australian side.
