"We've got 42 days, 25 Test match days, 10 training days, five travel days -- (that) only leaves two days without cricket duty," Broad, speaking at Trent Bridge on Monday, told Sky Sports.

"A lot depends on how we bowl. If India are getting four or five hundred every innings then the bowlers might have to take a break from time to time.

"But if we're bowling really well and we're only fielding for 80-90 overs an innings, that obviously makes a huge difference on the workload."

He added: "It's not a major concern in the near future and it's something the seamers just need to get used to -- a bit of extra bowling workload, bowling a bit more when the ball is not doing a huge amount."

"We lost the series against Sri Lanka but we played a lot of good cricket in that series," he said. "We did some brilliant stuff with some debut hundreds and that sort of thing.
"The confidence is good coming into this series.
"Obviously, the last time India were here it was probably the best series we have played for years, but a lot of that team has changed.
"Some players can take some confidence from that but the majority of players have changed from that series so this is a completely fresh series. We've got to restart and go again."
