Stuart Broad is expecting an exciting start to the County Championship season with plenty of England players available to their teams. Broad, who was not involved in Englands World Twenty20 squad, is expected to feature for Nottinghamshire when they open their Division One campaign at home to Surrey on Sunday.And he could be joined in the early fixtures by a number of his Test colleagues, including seamer James Anderson and captain Alastair Cook, with England not playing their first Test of the summer until May 19 against Sri Lanka. Its exciting, Broad told Sky Sports News HQ. Weve got a really big summer ahead as an England side. Weve got seven out of the nine Test trophies available to us, and the two we dont have are Sri Lanka and Pakistan, who we play this year.I think every player will want to hit the ground running. Weve got Yorkshire coming here to Trent Bridge [starting on May 1] which will be a fantastic game, full of international players. Im not sure bowling to Joe Root will be much fun but well see how we go.The start of the year is so important to counties to get up the table, try and win your first three or four games and make a really good start to your season. Australia bowler Jackson Bird will be Nottinghamshires overseas player in the early months of 2016 season Weve just had [Australia bowler] Jackson Bird arrive today. Dont know if he is playing this week against Cambridge MCCU, but hell be ready to go for Sunday.We look like we should have a strong side and its our aim to hit the ground running, starting with Surrey.County cricket will see changes this season, doing away with mandatory coin tosses, with visiting sides getting the choice whether to bat first. Only if the visiting captain declines to bat will a toss take place.Its an interesting one, Broad added. A lot of the wickets I have played on in Division One have been really good. I think its maybe aimed a little more at Division Two where teams are trying to get out of the division, creating wickets that do a bit. Broad was one of Englands stars in the Test series win over South Africa A lot of the seamers who got wickets in Division Two last season were under 80mph which proves the wickets were doing too much.But I know from playing in the Ashes, winning the toss and bowling at Trent Bridge can be a good thing. It will be interesting to see what kind of wickets are prepared. Also See: County build-up LIVE!

The Utes shot 51.4 percent in the first 20 minutes and improved their ball control from the first game with just three first-half turnovers.We fixed a few things that were broken in our last game, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. Its just part of the process early on.With as many new faces as we have, (Kyle Kuzma) and Lorenzo and some of those guys are doing a pretty good job of expressing how important some of those (details) are. We just need to trust the process. Its written in our practice facility to trust a lot of things. Cant get too up and too down, but weve just got to keep making improvements.Bonam bounced back from a horrific seven-turnover opener with just one against Concordia. Kuzma finished with 13 points and eight rebounds and Tyler Rawson added 12 points and eight rebounds. Parker Van Dyke scored a career-high 15 to go along with five rebounds and four assists.Its been a long time coming, said Van Dyke, who missed the last two seasons due to a Mormon mission trip. Its almost been three years since my first game as a freshman. Its good to be back and its good to make some shots tonight and play some good D. I think tonight was just a good game for my confidence and prepared me for the rest of the year.The Cavaliers were simply overmatched in every way. They didnt have the athleticism to keep up physically and outrebounded 51-33. Concordia werent skilled enough and shot just 32 percent from the field, including 5 for 17 from beyond the 3-point line.Christopher Edward scored a team-high 12 points for the Cavaliers while Latrell Wilson chipped in nine points.When we come up and play a Pac-12 team, its a great opportunity to test ourselves on aa significant road trip in a great environment, Concordia coach Brad Barbarick said.dddddddddddd Its a great experience for our kids playing on the Pac-12 Network. All of those things are positives for our program in recruiting.Whenever we can get our name out there in a game like this, it just helps us (with) name recognition and the opportunity to establish ourselves a little bit more. Were new to D2. This is our second year in the GNAC. We were NAIA for a long time. ... For us to step up and play here at Utah, thats a great experience for our kids and its great for our program.BIG PICTUREConcordia: Tuesday was all about experience for the Division II program. The game is just an exhibition for the Cavaliers, who were fighting an uphill battle from the opening tip.Utah: The Utes are still developing into what type of team theyre going to be with just two significant returners on the roster. The first four games are simply warmups that include two Division II programs while Utah finds its identity.EASING INKrystkowiak doesnt seem concerned about any strength of schedule issues due to opening the season with a pair of Division II teams and Coppin State.With our team, there needs to be a sense of confidence that youre gaining, Krystkowiak said. You dont want to get pummeled. That can be pretty dangerous.You do what you thinks best in the scheduling. And I thought in this particular year, things are going to start amping up. ... Thats the key for us, to try to get firing on some more cylinders and get prepared for league play.UP NEXTConcordia: The Cavaliers play California-San Diego Friday in the Doubletree Shootout.Utah: The Utes host Coppin State on Friday as they wrap up an opening stretch of with three games in six days.
