Lack Of Cricket The Reason Behind Leaving Broad-Anderson Out: Atherton

By IANS News December 08, 2021 • 10:51 AM View: 1374

Former England skipper Michael Atherton has said that lack of cricketing action leading up to the gruelling Ashes was the reason behind the visiting team leaving out pace bowling stalwarts James Anderson and Stuart Broad from the opening Test against Australia at The Gabba, which commenced on Wednesday.

England skipper Joe Root's move to exclude Broad from the Playing XI after including him in the 12-member squad on Tuesday surprised many given that the Gabba pitch has traditionally favoured fast bowlers. Instead, England went with Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson and Chris Woakes as the three pacers and included left-arm spinner Jack Leach.
