Cricket: Broad pleased with his progress

1Mar 2013

Stuart Broad is confident that he will be able to play a full part in England's Test series against New Zealand.

Broad continued his recovery from the heel injury he sustained in December by taking 1-35 from his 15 overs on the second day of the warm-up match against a New Zealand XI in Queensland. He is happy with his form and looks set to feature in the first Test against New Zealand which is scheduled to start on 6th March in Dunedin. England are 8/15 with bet365 to win the match while the Black Caps can be backed at 11/2 to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Broad said: "I'll sleep well tonight. It always takes a bit of getting used to. The workload is going to be tough. But you just need to manage that well, and I feel like I'm doing that at the moment."
