Stokes: I don't regret leaving Stuart Broad out

The Hindu  

England's stand-in captain Ben Stokes defended his decision to bat first and leaving out key pacer Stuart Broad for the first Test following the four-wicket loss to West Indies on Sunday. "I don't regret leaving Stuart Broad out, and we are fortunate to leave someone like him out. The first Test at Ageas Bowl in Southampton was the first international cricket match since the coronavirus outbreak in March and Stokes expressed his satisfaction at being back on the pitch. England's regular skipper Joe Root, who missed the first Test due to the birth of his child, will be back for the second Test in Manchester.
