Stuart Broad expressed concern that a potential change in England's cricket hierarchy could jeopardize Ben Stokes's captaincy. Broad suggested that if managing director Rob Key were to be removed, it might trigger a domino effect, leading coach Brendon McCullum and subsequently captain Ben Stokes to consider their positions. This sentiment follows England's Ashes series loss and an 'unsatisfactory' ICC rating for the Melbourne Cricket Ground pitch, which heavily favored bowlers.
