Broad and Anderson call out England: eight of 30 contracted players reprimanded in off-field incidents

Stuart Broad said eight of England's 30 centrally contracted players have been reprimanded or involved in off-field incidents, calling the ratio unacceptable. Speaking at a Lord's portrait unveiling on 27 August, Broad and Jimmy Anderson publicly criticised the team's off-field culture. Anderson called it "just mind-numbing that people can still be putting themselves in these positions."
