Senior England cricketer, Stuart Broad has recently admitted that it is hard to expect a fast bowler to play five Tests on te trot. He maintained the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is mulling to rotate the duo in the upcoming five-match Test series against India.

Meanwhile, both James Anderson and Broad is coming from a long injury lay-off. The 36-year-old Anderson took a six-week break to get rid of his shoulder injury while 32-year-old Broad had limped off during a county game earlier this season.

The lanky paceman Broad feels everything will depend on the situation which further relies upon the toss and the surface in general.

Well, the nature of pitches will decide the sustainability of the seamers, feels Broad.

It will depend on tosses, pitches, workloads. If (there are) two Tests of 250 overs in the field each, it’s unrealistic to think your seam bowlers will play five Tests in six weeks. But if you have a Test, where you bowl them out in 80 or 60 overs, that changes your thinking,” Broad said.

The veteran speedster also revealed that team management also already conveyed that rotation policy is in line.

I think there have already been small conversations saying don’t feel bad if you miss a Test match. It’s not a personal attack or dropping. It’s management of your bowlers to make sure we give ourselves the best chance,” Broad explained.

In conclusion, Stuart Broad admitted that he doesn’t want to be dropped due to poor form and it is natural to expect small changes throughout the Tests against Virat Kohli-led India.

The first match of the long series commences on August 1 at Edgbaston.
