England captain to miss rest of West Indies T20 series

ENGLAND captain Stuart Broad will miss the two remaining Twenty20 matches in West Indies with a knee injury.Broad, who is suffering from patellar tendonitis, may need an injection to get him through the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 tournament in Bangladesh.

He aggravated the condition during Sunday’s 27-run defeat.
England have two more games in Barbados tomorrow and Thursday. Their first World T20 game is against New Zealand in Chittagong on Saturday, March 22.
Vice-captain Eoin Morgan will lead the side in Broad’s absence.
“I’ve had a patellar tendonitis problem in my right knee for quite a long time,” explained Broad, 27, who played more international matches on the recent tour of Australia than any other England player.
“With the workload I’ve had all winter I’ve not really had any breaks, so it’s got worse and worse.
“I just caught my knee in the sandy ground at Antigua and got a lot of inflammation and fluid on it. It was touch and go today, but I won’t be playing the next two games, and I’ll have to have some kind of injection to get me through the World Twenty20, I’d think.”(BBC Sport)
