England’s Test team is also in poor form, having won just one of its last 17 matches, although the team has new leadership in captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. Broad, back in England’s squad after missing the recent tour of the Caribbean, said the “style of cricket” was important to grabbing fans’ attention. “To attract the fans, we have to build on that style of cricket and have a style that people want to watch,” Broad said. “The MCC would have known ticket sales were down weeks ago and so could have opened up the ticket sales with a different pricing structure for this particular game,” the association said. “It isn’t rocket science but this could have been a great opportunity to showcase test cricket to a wider audience at one of the best grounds in the world.”
