Broad sees Pakistan Tests as build-up to Ashes
LONDON: England pacer Stuart Broad sees the forthcoming home Test series against Pakistan as a build-up to the Ashes, as he prepares to return to the five-day format after a strengthening and rejuvenating programme.
“Pakistan will clearly be a force to be reckoned with in the four Tests over the next month. But we are ready for this. The harder the challenge we face now, the better it is as far as looking ahead to an Ashes winter goes,” Broad said.
“We know we will be in a demanding series here, but it is only natural that thoughts should also be on the Ashes, especially as we have just played Australia in a one-day series and then saw them play Pakistan,” he said. |
