Stuart Broad Praises Debutant Josh Hull

In his international debut during the third Test against Sri Lanka at The Oval, 20-year-old Josh Hull impressed with his performance, taking 3 wickets for 53 runs. Stuart Broad likened Hull's slingy bowling action to that of former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson, suggesting that adjustments to his run-up could enhance his bounce without compromising swing. Hull, who stands at an impressive 6ft 7in, is England's tallest fast bowler and has shown great potential, having previously excelled in domestic cricket. Despite a minor setback where he dropped a catch, Broad remained optimistic about Hull's development, predicting improvements in speed and technique over time. Hull's unique attributes are viewed as valuable assets for England's future, especially in their preparation for the Ashes series in Australia. The match continues with Sri Lanka chasing a target of 125 runs on Day 4.
