England cricket coach Chris Silverwood refused to give any guarantees that Stuart Broad will be recalled for the second Test against the West Indies, saying on Monday that selection was still up for grabs.

Broad was dropped for the first Test of the series, which England lost in Southampton on Sunday, and gave an interview during the match in which he said he was “frustrated, angry and gutted”.

The second Test starts in Manchester on Thursday and England could decide to shake up its pace attack to bring in Broad, who sits second on the country’s all-time wicket list in Tests with 485.

Silverwood was non-committal, though. Asked whether Broad is in line to play, Silverwood said: “Nothing is a given in this team, as we have seen, and people will be playing for their spots. Everything will be considered.”

England went with Mark Wood, Jofra Archer and Jimmy Anderson as its pace bowlers in Southampton. Wood picked up only two wickets across the two innings, perhaps making him the fall guy if Broad is to return. Alternatively, England may choose to rest Anderson, who has had an injury-hit last year and might not be risked to play three back-to-back Test matches.

The third Test starts on July 24.

“We have one or two stiff bodies, as you can imagine,” Silverwood said. “I have been down to see the guys but they all seem to have come through well. I mean, we will probably know more after training tomorrow.”
