[Saba Sports News] Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad humorously reacted to not being included in the squad for the upcoming Test series against India. England is set to play five Tests in India, starting with the first match on January 25 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Broad, known for his passion and love for cricket, shared an emotional message on his social media. This included a list of the 16-player England squad selected for the Test series in India, along with a comment about his brief search for his name in the list. “Genuinely spent 5 seconds looking for my name,” the 37-year-old humorously remarked on his Instagram story.
Stuart Broad, who retired from international cricket after the 2023 Ashes series, has left a significant gap in England’s bowling lineup. His retirement, announced during the Ashes in England, ended an impressive career with over 600 wickets, highlighting his contributions to England’s cricket legacy.
Although Broad has stepped back from international cricket, his lighthearted note about the India tour squad selection has captivated cricket fans. Looking ahead to the challenging January 2024 series in India, England will be led by dynamic all-rounder Ben Stokes as captain.
The England squad for the India Tour includes Ben Stokes (captain), Rehan Ahmed, James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ben Foakes, Tom Hartley, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Joe Root, and Mark Wood.
