5 things which happened to England cricket since Gareth Batty last played a match

Gareth Batty is making a comeback after 11 years

#3 Stuart Broad went from being a zero to a hero

One of the six sixes Yuvraj hit off Broad in the ICC World T20 in 2007

The inaugural T20 World Cup was held in South Africa in 2007 where India were crowned champions after a nail-biting finish against Pakistan in the final.

On the road to the final, India faced off against England in their group stage match. As India were cruising with the bat, Yuvraj Singh decided to take things to another level as he smashed Stuart Broad for 6 sixes off 6 balls and helped India reach a total of 218 in 20 overs.

Fast forward to 2016 and Yuvraj Singh has been dropped from the Indian team due to his poor performances over the past year or so whereas Stuart Broad has cemented his place in the England Test team due to his consistent performances.
