Stuart Broad doubtful against India

London, Tuesday, 12 July 2011

England's fast bowler Stuart Broad due to injury and poor form not become part of the team in Last match against Sri Lanka may have to sit out the team in the forthcoming series against India.

Broad is surviving from the heel and knee injuries. Broad already battling poor form, hence the team's confidence will be a huge setback.

Broad to play Championship match for Nottinghamshire against Somerset on Monday.

However, coach Andy Flower has expressed the hope that Brad will return and find a place in the team. Flower said "Brad has a long time to recover before the first Test against India. He performed many times for the team. I think he also repeat the same performance in ODI and Test series against India."


Coach said we wanted to take a chance for new fast bowlers in the series against Sri Lanka. I think the future looks very bright for Steven Finn and Chris Tremlett.

  1. Stuart Broad is struggling with his form and i think resting him and giving chance to Tim Bresnan or Steve Finn will be great move. Both are quality Bowlers and are capable of taking wickets on regular intervals. Stuart Broad will need some wickets in championship match against Somerset to avoid being overtaken by Tim Bresnan or Steve Finn.
