Steve Smith 'Surprised' With Stuart Broad's Exclusion From Two Ashes Tests

By IANS News January 03, 2022 • 16:53 PM View: 1257

Australian Test team vice-captain Steve Smith is a "bit surprised" that England pace bowling stalwart Stuart Broad has not been included in two of the three Ashes games so far in the series, saying a world-class performer like him should always get priority.

The 35-year-old Broad is sixth on the list of all-time Test wicket-takers, having taken 526 scalps so far, and ranks third behind country-mate Jimmy Anderson (639 wickets) and former Australian bowler Glenn McGrath (563 wickets) among pacers.
