Ashes hero Stuart Broad injured his shoulder while diving to stop a ball in a warm up match against the Eagles cricket team in South Africa. England are in South Africa to play a series including T20s.
A scan later revealed no serious damage, but the recovery time was not announced. A spokesperson for the english team said Broad would be kept under observation for the next two days.
The 23 year old front line bowler says he would like to play 100 test matches for his country and is also considering the IPL route.

In future the best way will be to rotate people, something Australia do fantastically well. They will go to one of their key players and tell him he’s having the next three games off but assure him he will then be straight back into the team, even if his replacement scores three hundreds while he’s away. It is a difficult balancing act but it cannot carry on as it is, because players will either not perform to their best or just break down.
