England has had mixed results over the past three years. Ben Stokes led the team to a historic 3-0 series whitewash in Pakistan. However, doubts resurfaced after England endured a 4-1 series defeat to India in 2023. The England cricket team also failed to reclaim the Ashes trophy on home soil in 2023.
“Genuinely, I feel like we could go to Australia with a chance. Yes, Australia are the best Test team in the world, unbelievable in their own conditions, but they’re ageing in their bowling group of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood and Nathan Lyon, and there is inexperience in their batting, with Sam Konstas potentially at the top," Broad shared in an interview with The Daily Mail.

“They rely heavily on Steve Smith and Travis Head for runs. Marnus Labuschagne is struggling, so they’re a team that’s maybe just going over the hill, and it’s a great opportunity for England if the stars align. Australia are favourites, but England have as big a chance as we’ve had since 2010," Broad added.
