“He was unable to train this afternoon with the rest of the England squad. Broad will have a scan tomorrow (Wednesday) to determine the extent of his injury,” said ECB in a statement. In case Broad misses, Mark Wood could be his likely replacement.
Meanwhile, Guardian also added that Indian pacer Shardul Thakur is having problems with his hamstring. While he played the opening Test, missing out on the second could mean veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin coming in.
