Veteran English seamer, Stuart Broad had to undergo scans on his left ankle after complaining of soreness while bowling for Nottinghamshire against Worcestershire in their County Championship match last week.
Meanwhile, Worcestershire’s coach Peter Moores called Broad’s ongoing injury ‘manageable’. However, there will still be concern over his participation in the first Test against India starting on August 1. Furthermore, James Anderson is also off the field in the interim to deal with his long-standing shoulder condition.
Broad returned 2/52 in 14 overs in the Worcestershire first innings but could send in only eight wicket-less overs in the second, as the match ended in a draw at Trent Bridge.
“Stuart’s sore ankle has been ongoing and it stirred up a little bit when he landed in the footholds, so it made sense for him to come off the field when it was too sore for him to bowl,” said Moores. “It is manageable, but he has a lot of cricket to play in the rest of the summer. It was disappointing for him because he was desperate to get out there and was prowling around the dressing room, but injuries are injuries and you have to take heed of them,” he added.
