Stuart Broad has revealed how Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper played ‘peacemaker’ between him and Joe Root over a glass of red wine.
The Championship play-off semi-final between Broad’s Forest and Root’s Sheffield United was the first time that the pair had spent time together since the latter had resigned as England Test captain.
And with one of the last calls he agreed to as skipper being the axing of Broad and James Anderson from the squad to tour the West Indies, things could have been frosty. But the 36-year-old seamer reckons losing a friend over selection would have been ‘pathetic.’
