DHAKA: England captain Stuart Broad is confident he will play a “full part” in his side’s World Twenty20 campaign in Bangladesh despite suffering from a knee injury.

Broad, suffering from patellar tendonitis in his right knee, missed the last two games during the tour of the West Indies and will also miss Tuesday’s warm-up match in the tournament against the same opponents in Fatullah.

But the 27-year-old fast bowler said he will “definitely” be fit for the warm-up match against India in Mirpur on Wednesday.

“I’ve had an injection in my knee last week. It was quite a long travel from Barbados so obviously I had to manage that well. We left I think on Friday afternoon and what are we now, Monday morning?” Broad told reporters in Dhaka.

“It’s unlikely that I’ll play tomorrow because I haven’t actually run on my knee since I’ve had the injection yet, but I’d say I’ll definitely play against India the next day.”

“The soreness has gone a little bit, we had 12 hours in Dubai in which I managed to get a gym session...so it seems to be progressing pretty well,” Broad added.

“If it was a Test match tour it might be more concerning but with it only being four overs a game I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to play.”—Reuters
