Overview

• Broad joins South Africa’s support staff ahead of the June 11 final at Lord’s, marking his first coaching role since retiring in 2023
• He brings a formidable record with 113 Test wickets at Lord’s and 153 scalps against Australia to guide strategy
• South Africa’s pace battery—including Kagiso Rabada, newly returned from a one-month drug ban, and Marco Jansen—will benefit from his expertise
• Media commitments will keep Broad out of the dressing room during the match, but he will lead detailed pre-final training sessions
• Australia, the defending champions, have selected a full-strength squad led by Pat Cummins with Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood among the key picks
