England vs Australia: Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell to join ODI series, says Stuart Broad

Starc and Maxwell missed the first ODI due to COVID-19

England paceman Stuart Broad has admitted that he is concerned about the return of Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell to the Australia ODI team. Both players are set to return to the side for the second ODI at Old Trafford on Thursday after missing the first match due to COVID-19.

Starc a world-class bowler

Starc is one of the best bowlers in the world and his return to the Australia team will be a major boost. He has taken 198 wickets in 101 ODIs and is a genuine wicket-taker. Maxwell is a destructive batsman who can also bowl handy off-spin. He has scored 3,501 runs in 121 ODIs and has taken 55 wickets.

England need to be at their best

England will need to be at their best to beat Australia in the second ODI. The tourists won the first match by six wickets and will be confident of taking the series. England will need to find a way to contain Starc and Maxwell if they are to have any chance of winning.

Broad confident in England

Despite the return of Starc and Maxwell, Broad is confident that England can win the second ODI. He says that the team is in good form and is determined to level the series.
