The team is too settled now with more than enough bowling options available. It would be much better to just keep Broad fit for and accustomed to tests rather than play him in limited overs in my opinion given the amount of options available.
 
Broad was asked in interview if he wanted to quit ODIs and just play test and T20s to prelong his career, broad said he wanted to play all formats and as much cricket as possible as its a short career. Was a brilliant answer.

England are clearly managing players workloads so theres been no harm in Broad not been picked for ODI since world cup am sure he will play some ODI games again.
 
Maybe there is a correlation between his test performance and his absence from the ODIs?

SOuth africa will be dangerous and competitive side in odis.england should rethink about squad that plays against pakistan.
TOPLEY and David willey are not experienced.they will struggle against attacking batting of africa .Finn and Broad is must for England against africa in odis

Finn will get in the side if fit. The squad has already been announced and Broad is not in it. Willey has been doing brilliantly over in the BBL and Topley has shown some brilliant skills given his age.
 
He wasn't dropped but like Anderson being saved for Tests. Fast bowlers need to have their workloads managed especially with the relentless schedule of modern day cricket. England are going to have to plan for life after Anderson and Broad at some time so ODIs are a good chance to test their fast bowling reserves.
 
Broad is being conserved for tests just like Anderson was. England don't particularly care about ODIs. Anyway if the need arises I'm sure Broad will play the next WC in England.
 
Broad already said he wants to be a part of 2019 World Cup in his home. I'm sure he'll be integrated into the team somewhere down the line.

The key here is England pay their test cricketers enough to hold them from cash rich leagues which is the reason he bowled most numbed of overs in tests in the last 5-6 years long with Andersen.

They do now, not only because of the World Cup debacle, but the Champions Trophy and next World Cup is to be hosted by England - it'd be embarrassing for the ECB for the home nation to stink the joint out like 1999. Director of cricket Andrew Strauss has also talked about a greater limited overs emphasis - they've even talked about Buttler heading off to the IPL and missing part of the home season.
 
England don't need him in the shorter formats. I doubt he wants to play ODIs anymore either, he's getting older and has already lost pace.

With the Champions Trophy in England as well next year, it is very likely that Broad will get a recall in ODIs this year. Ideally, England would want a settled ODI unit now that can play together till the 2019 World Cup, as it is England's best chance in years of going all the way even if they are not the favorites.

Home advantage really means something in this era, they made it to the final of the Champions Trophy in 2013 as well before bottling it in the last 5 overs.

The ODI team is shaping up very nicely.

He said he has hopes of playing in World Cup 2019 but might not feature in ODIs till the last time I guess.

Its very hard to take the ECB seriously when it comes to their LOI setup. I remember a hue and a cry when England lost to Ireland in the 2011 WC. But then by the time of the time of the 2015 WC, once again they were the worst of the top 8 teams - worse than WI,BAN and SL . They may have beaten Pakistan in an ODI series but that's just an anomaly. England have somehow always had wood over Pakistan in bilateral ODI's while struggling against just about everybody else.

Broad hasnt lost a lot of pace. He just needs to manage his workload since England play a staggering amount of test cricket every year.
 
He has reached the #1 ranking by focusing almost exclusively on Tests, so it should remain this way IMO.

Beat NZ in the summer and run Australia very close for their money as well whilst also now being unbeaten in T20 for 1.5 years. Assume that's all an anomaly as well :mv.

Useless bilaterals. England don't stand a chance either at the T20 WC for starters.
 
Is that what you tell yourself to keep faith every-time you lose a series?

What does this have to do with India? :facepalm: England are quite average in LOIs and theres no harm in pointing it out. Being knocked out in the first round of last years WC was embarrassing especially when teams like WI managed to qualify for the quarters.

And since the world cup, where the team has made quite a few big changes they have performed exceptionally with a lot of positive results. Saying recent bilaterals show absolutely nothing about how good a team is but a world cup with a pretty different team a year ago now is the best judge of a fairly new team is one of the most ridiculous things you could suggest.
 
Broad, who recently gave a reminder of his white ball skills during a stint with Hobart Hurricanes

in Australia's Big Bash League, the news could conceivably mark the end of his limited-overs hopes.

The 30-year-old has played just two ODIs since the 2015 World Cup and if England are not tempted to draft

him back into the 50-over picture at this stage of his career he looks likely to continue as a Test specialist.
