England Are Right In Arriving Late In India Ahead Of Test Series Opener: Stuart Broad
In Abu Dhabi: Former fast-bowler Stuart Broad said England are right in arriving late in India ahead of Test series opener, saying such arrangement led by captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum is to have more control around the team schedule in a heavy cricketing calendar.
England will be having a training camp in Abu Dhabi before arriving in Hyderabad three days ahead of the series opener against India on January 25. “The decision to fly to India only three days before the first Test next month is not England minimising preparation — Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, as coach and captain, are controlling it.”
“In cricket, when you tour a country, arriving weeks early, the warm-up pitches, quality of the nets, the matches you play, and your travel schedule are seldom arranged to help you. So McCullum and Stokes are taking ownership of this period leading up to the series opener in Hyderabad on January 25 rather than leaving it in someone else’s hands,” wrote Broad in his column for Daily Mail on Sunday.
