Stuart Broad claims England will face the “worst” Australia team since 2010 in the upcoming Ashes.

Broad has helped crank up the “war of words” before the first Test in Perth on November 21 in response to former Australia opener David Warner predicting a 4-0 victory for the hosts.

Broad told the BBC’s For the Love of Cricket podcast: “You wouldn’t be outlandish in thinking – it’s actually not an opinion, it’s a fact – it’s probably the worst Australian team since 2010 when England last won, and it’s the best English team since 2010.

“So those things match up to the fact it’s going to be a brilliant Ashes series.”

Broad retired as a player after the 2023 Ashes series in England when Australia kept hold of the urn after the series ended 2-2.
