Stuart Broad injury scare adds insult to England’s high farce in St Kitts - chairman - 04-08-2015
England’s preparations for the upcoming Test series against West Indies descended into high farce in St Kitts on Wednesday but they also took a more sinister turn when Stuart Broad collapsed in a heap after slipping in his delivery stride.
It happened moments after Jonathan Trott, now playing for the St Kitts & Nevis Invitation XI in what is notionally the second two-day tour match, was dismissed for a three-ball duck. Given the paucity of the opposition, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow have also been drafted into the home side’s lineup.
Broad had complained about the state of the crease to the umpires after bowling three balls of his first over. Ground staff were summoned for running repairs after he offered to bowl around the wicket. With sawdust applied, the England bowler continued over the wicket and slipped during his follow-through, turning his left ankle.

Broad who went off 5 minutes into the game because of an ankle injury is back. He replaces Rashid from the Northern End of the ground.
