Stuart Broad Warns Against Cheap Test Caps, Says Ex-Selector Ed Smith "Probably Didn't Rate Me"

England fast bowler Stuart Broad said former selector Ed Smith was a boss who didn't rate him as much as other people, regretting a lack of communication from the former England batsman.
Stuart Broad has warned against Test caps being given out "free and cheap" as a result of England's controversial rest and rotation policy. The veteran seamer also said Monday he was looking forward to life under a new England regime given former national selector Ed Smith "probably didn't rate me". But Broad, now a Test specialist, accepted multi-format England team-mates such as the currently injured Jofra Archer would need careful handling if they were to be fit for both this year's Twenty20 World Cup and the subsequent Ashes series in Australia. Smith's post was abolished last month, with England coach Chris Silverwood now in sole charge of selecting the side. Broad's tally of 517 Test wickets is second only to that of longstanding new-ball colleague James Anderson among England bowlers, yet he was still left out for last season's opening match against the West Indies.
