IND vs Eng 5th Test: Stuart Broad, Naser Hussain to push for England to make a bowling change in the Oval. Cricket news
Former England Pacer Stuart Broad rested Joffra Archer for the upcoming fifth test against India at Oval to manage his charge ahead of the Ashes series in Australia. Archer, who recently returned his test after four years of absence, impressed five wickets in Lord’s and four more people in Manchester.Archer, with one wicket on his third delivery, marked his return to Test cricket at Lord’s and continued his form in the fourth Test in Manchester.Broad said on Sky Sports, “We can’t have arrears for four years, bring it back and then bowl it in the ground and don’t look at it for four years.”In England’s speed attack, Bridan Cars and Chris Woakes are shown in all four matches, while Archer has played two consecutive Tests since his return.India managed to attract the fourth Test in Manchester for centuries from Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja, established a series decider at the Oval starting on Thursday.There are several speed options available for the final test in England, including Gas Atkinson, Sam Cook, Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton.“I think Gas Atkinson has to play. I know he has no charge, but we need to see him. He has not yet been challenged against the top level opposition in Test cricket,” Broad said.“Cars looked in the fourth Test. He has been a teenage and has been given completely everything, but it seems that his legs have left him for this series, so Atkinson gets the node. The tongue starts the series, and I know that he mainly excludes the lower-order players, but you probably have a natural reputation for archery.”Former England captain Nasar Hussain supported Broad’s approach to Archer’s charge management.Hussain said, “I don’t think you can play the Archer three on the bounce coming back after four years.”He said, “Gas Atkinson is coming back after a long time, and then stokes with one swallowing one of his four seamors – but I will definitely play Atkinson on my home ground when I fit.”The ash played in Australia is scheduled for November.
