Broad to have knee surgery after ind series
9 Aug 2014 6:43 AM IST
England’s hero on the opening day of the ongoing fourth Test Stuart Broad has confirmed that he will undergo a knee surgery after the conclusion of the five-match series against India. ‘It’s been confirmed I’m going to have an op.
The timing is not confirmed but the fella is flying over from Sweden after the Oval Test (the India series finale) to have a look. It will either be after that Test or after the one-day series, depending on what he suggests,’ Broad told reporters. Broad ripped through the Indian batting at Old Trafford, packing off the visitors for 152 by bagging six wickets while sharing the new ball with Jimmy Anderson, who scalped three. ‘At any stage in the last 18 months I could have had the op and it’s at the stage where it needs to be done,’ he said. If the pacer does get the knee operated, he will certainly miss the five ODI series starting August 25.
