LONDON (Reuters) - England's Stuart Broad said he considered retiring after being omitted for last month's series opener against West Indies at Southampton.

England's decision to go with James Anderson, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood for the first match, which West Indies won by four wickets, snapped the 34-year-old Broad's run of 51 consecutive home tests.
