Stuart Broad ruled out of the India series due to an injury
Veteran pacer Stuart Broad will miss the four remaining Tests against India due to an injury he picked up. The ECB have called Saquib Mahmood up to the squad as his replacement.
A media release from the ECB read:
England are also sweating over the fitness of James Anderson ahead of the second Test at Lord’s. Anderson is reportedly struggling with a quad injury, but it is yet to be confirmed officially. If he misses out on the second Test, then Saqib Mahmood or Craig Overton might get a chance to play.
