In the Guardian, Stuart Broad speaks to Donald McRae about his recovery from injury, the upcoming England summer and the Ashes as well as the Champions Trophy, and support from David Saker.
Broad's fitness and form will be central to England's hopes against New Zealand and Australia - as well as in the Champions Trophy. England have never won a major 50-over tournament but Broad is bullish. "It's a fantastic opportunity for us because I can't remember the last time we lost a one-day series in England. Just like India were favourites for the last World Cup in their conditions, we stand a good chance of winning it."
The Ashes, however, loom over this cricketing year. "You walk into a coffee shop and it's the first thing someone says to you. And if we get weather like this [Broad gestures at a stunning day], it'll be fantastic. There are little things the team mentions - like the fact England haven't won four back-to-back Ashes in 120 years. There's a big chance for us to make a huge amount of history."
