Stuart Broad, the former cricket player for England, will receive an honorary degree from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) as Doctor of Sports. With 604 wickets in 167 matches, the Nottingham-born fast bowler who won the Ashes retired from Test cricket last year as the second-highest wicket-taker in the nation.
NTU vice-chancellor Prof Edward Peck, said: “We are honoured to bestow these awards on individuals who have made remarkable contributions to their fields and to society at large.
“Their achievements stand as a testament to their dedication and perseverance.”
