Stuart Broad to undergo scan on right foot

English pacer Stuart Broad is set to undergo a scan on his right foot. Broad was seen in pain during the second Test. It all started on the day 1 of the Vizag Test. He felt a slight niggle on his right foot but that aggravated soon after. Despite bowling short spells, Broad looked visibly in discomfort during the match. Later on day 1, Broad was also having issues with his wrist. He scraped his wrist while fielding.

The wrist injury is not of a major concern. That is an irritation more than the pain. However, the foot injury looks serious. On the day 2 of the Test, Broad dived to his right while fielding at mid on early on the day. As he tried to get up, he again looked in discomfort. He later walked off the field after persistent discomfort in his right foot and the wrist as well.

Earlier in the match, Broad had started off really well. He got rid of the in-form batsman KL Rahul for a duck. He bowled just 3 overs in his opening spell but looked good with his line and lengths. He eventually bowled 16 overs in India’s first innings. He scalped the solitary wicket of KL Rahul giving away 49 runs.

When England had toured India last time, Stuart Broad had faced similar issues back then as well. Broad sustained a foot injury back then as well. After having bowled just 36 overs in that series, Stuart Broad had to fly back midway from the tour. The England team will only be hoping that things do not turn out that sour for him on this tour.

It was today when things looked more serious than it was being anticipated. Stuart Broad is now set to undergo a scan for his right foot. The results of the scan will be available by Saturday.
