The iconic bowler called time on his career following England’s Ashes stalemate against Australia.

Broad, 37, has since moved into the world of broadcasting, landing a job with Sky Sports as a cricket pundit.

But he traded sports on Wednesday night as he took a seat on the Soccer Special panel for Sky’s coverage of the Carabao Cup.

Broad found himself rubbing shoulders with favourites like Paul Merson and Alan Pardew as he covered his beloved Nottingham Forest’s clash with Burnley.

And football fans were left doing double-takes as they struggled to comprehend why Broad was commenting on a different sport to cricket.

One said: “Stuart Broad reporting on a game for Soccer Special. Nothing he can’t do.”

Another declared: “Hang on, why is Stuart Broad doing football coverage? Plus he’s really good.”

One noted: “Is it Stuart Broad? I flicked through before and assumed it couldn’t possibly be him.”

“Not sure what he’s actually doing on there, neither does Merson.”

Others on the panel included Kris Boyd and Jobi McAnuff.
