Cricket News : Stuart Broad likely to miss 1st test vs WI

Veteran English pacer Stuart Broad is unlikely for the 1st Test match of the three-match series against West Indies in order to make way for Jofra Archer and Mark Wood to partner James Anderson at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. The 34-year-old who has not missed a home Test since being rested against West Indies in 2012 averages 24 with the ball from his previous two English summers. The three-Test series with West Indies will be played behind closed doors and in a bio-secure environment in Southampton and Manchester. And this is the start of international cricket after the Coronavirus lockdown.
