The lanky http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
The 25-year-old Nottingham-born right-arm medium pace bowler, who was the leading wicket taker of the three-Test series against Windies (14 scalps from 4 innings), said that he totally understands that the rotation policy is meant to preserve the players
in the long term, and has no issues at being rested from the third and final One Day International against West Indies, to be played at Leeds, Headingley, on Friday, June 22.
“would you prefer players careers to finish early through injury by playing every game put in the schedule by people in suits?” Broad Tweeted on Wednesday. “players hate missing games. It is just unrealistic to play every game and (sic) be at your best,”
he added further.
Broad, along with fellow pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 and men, in order to give the trio some rest ahead of next week’s five-match ODI series against
traditional rivals, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. The ODI series against the Kangaroos would be followed by a full-fledged home series against the Proteas, where England’s world number one Test status will be at stake once again.
Having already gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match NatWest series against the on-tour Caribbean side, the ECB selectors want to preserve players for the high-profile encounters against the Aussies and the Proteas.
"The fact that we have already won the series means we are able to take the opportunity to rest players for next week's series against Australia and take a closer look at players who are likely to feature in our limited-overs planning going forward," stated
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318 after announcing the squad for Leeds ODI.
ECB selectors had earlier rested both Broad and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 for the third Test against Windies, a decision with which at least Anderson was not happy. However, Broad had backed the decision at that time as well.
