Can understand India not playing the 5th Test, won't preach that what they did was wrong, says Stuart Broad

Stuart Broad said that he understands why the Indian players were uncomfortable with the possibility of contracting Covid-19 when they were so close to their flights out of the country.

England fast bowler Stuart Broad said that he understands why the Indian players were uncomfortable with playing the fifth Test at Old Trafford once there were positive Covid-19 tests within the team. Broad said that while the Indian Premier League (IPL) being just around the corner may have played a role, he won't say that the Indian players were wrong in not taking the field.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan was among those that criticized India for not taking the field but Broad said that he would have felt just as uncomfortable if a member of his squad had tested positive just before the end of a tour.
