England rest Broad for ODIs

London - Stuart Broad, England's best bowler in their 5-0 Ashes defeat, has been rested for the first two matches of the one-day international series which starts in Melbourne on Sunday.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Friday that Broad, who took a creditable 21 wickets in the five tests, will sit out the matches in Melbourne and Brisbane.

With Graeme Swann retired and James Anderson having flown home, Broad's absence from the first two of five one-dayers means England will field an inexperienced bowling attack.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
