"It has been a wonderful ride and a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge as much as I have."
Broad revealed he'd come to the decision on Friday evening. "I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks."
"England versus Australia has always been sort of the pinnacle for me."
Broad was two not out at stumps on the third day in England's second innings 389-9, with the hosts now 377 runs ahead as they push for a series-levelling win.
"I've loved the battles with Australia that have come my way personally, and the team's way. I've got a love affair with Ashes cricket, and I think I wanted my last bat and bowl to be on Ashes cricket."
