Stuart Broad was one of England's best pacers. He led the bowling attack for a long time. Even though he retired this year, he is still with cricket. He joined the commentary. On the other hand, former English cricketer Marcus Trescothick is the batting coach of England men's team. Both received special honors.

Broad, England's second-highest wicket-taker in Tests, was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) as part of the New Year honours. Trescothick was awarded 'OBE' (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). 

Stuart Broad retired after the Ashes in July this year. Broad played a total of 167 Tests in his 16-year Test career. Broad is the fifth-highest wicket taker in Test history with 690 wickets. Broad is England's highest wicket-taker after Anderson. All three editions are glorious broads. Broad, who ended his career with a last-ball wicket and a last-ball six, was delighted to receive the award.

On receiving the award, Broad said, “All I ever wanted to do was play cricket, and to have had the career that I was able to enjoy and to receive honours like this is incredibly special. "I’m very proud that my contributions to cricket have been recognised, and it means a lot to me and my family.”

Broad started his career the following year when former England cricketer Marcus Trescothick ended his career. Trescothick scored 10,000 runs in international cricket before retiring due to depression. He worked with mental problems of cricketers.

After receiving the honorary award, Trescothick said, “It’s a huge honour to have been awarded an OBE. I was delighted in 2005 when we were recognised as a team with MBEs but this is very special. I’ve always wanted to let people know my story and to try and raise awareness to help anyone who may be struggling with poor mental health alongside the Professional Cricketers’ Association, so recognition of that work means a lot.”
