The star English paceman Stuart Broad has finally spoken about “Why he is being left out of England’s Test Squad”. Unfortunately, he was not named in the recent Test squad for the upcoming tour against West Indies. It’s very sad to see such a good and experienced player is been left out by the ECB selectors. Here Is About Stuart Broad On Being Dropped From The Squad.
Stuart Broad On Being Dropped :
Stuart Broad has admitted that he is in the dark phase of his career and feels that all these negative circumstances around him have led to his recent axing from the English Test Squad.
Speaking about his dark phase, Broad said – “I am struggling to put things into context. It’s hard to do so when all you’ve had is a five-minute phone call and nothing else, Not too big it’s up too much but it has affected my sleep. I said to my partner Mollie one morning that my body felt sore. She suggested that would be stress. No, I can’t pretend I am as good as gold, because I am not. It would be wrong to act like everything’s OK.“
In total Stuart Broad has picked 13 wickets from three Tests in Australia with an average of 26.
He has also said – “I took 11 wickets in the final two Ashes matches, I have the Test match standard for a long time and, for the last eight years, you would say world-class, I could take being dropped if I had let my standards slip but facing up to being overlooked when they haven’t is another thing altogether. And so, it makes it even more upsetting that they don’t see my part of their immediate plans, especially with a view to looking at a way of winning away from home, which was briefly explained to me.”
In these sad times, Broad is looking at the brighter side and aiming to utilize this crucial time – “I spoke to my mum Carole on Friday because I am waking up more confused and angrier with each passing day, and she just advised me to take time, step away from the game for a bit and figure things out,“
He has concluded by saying – “Understandably, people will ask if there has therefore been some fall-out behind the scenes, a bit of a rumble during the Ashes, but I can categorically say that is not the case. Hence, neither Jimmy nor I saw this coming. We were blindsided.“
