With three mega-events coming up- 5 match Test series against India, the T20 World Cup and the Ashes - Stuart Broad justified the team management’s decision to rest some key players like Chris Woakes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali & Jonny Bairstow. However, Broad was quick to add that there will be no room for excuses when they face off against India later.
India last toured England for a test series in 2018, where the hosts emerged victorious comfortably by a margin of 4-1. The Men in Blue have taken giant strides since then in the longest format, and many expect them to give the English side a tougher challenge this time around.
“Had sympathy for some of the batsmen when their techniques were being dissected” - Stuart Broad
England’s batting order came under scrutiny for the way they surrendered against New Zealand at Edgbaston in the second Test. Various experts were baffled by the techniques of some of England’s batsmen.
Stuart Broad stated that he had sympathy for some of his teammates but added that living with such criticism is part and parcel of cricket at the top level.
Before the Test series against India, the Three Lions will play a 3 match T20I and as many ODIs against Sri Lanka starting on June 23.
