The England cricket team on Wednesday added fast bowler Saqib Mahmood to the squad for the second Test against India at Lord’s on Thursday. The young pacer has been brought in as cover for veteran fast bowler Stuart Broad, the England and Wales Cricket Board has confirmed.
Broad picked up a calf injury during a practice session on Tuesday, which could potentially rule him out of the Lord’s Test against India. The experienced fast bowler skipped the team’s net session after experiencing some discomfort in his calf during the warm-ups. Broad is one game short of making 150 Test caps.
While Saqib Mahmood is yet to make his Test debut, he was in the news recently as he was named the Man of the Series following England’s 3-0 drubbing of Pakistan in the ODI series. Saqib Mahmood was among the many players who were brought in after England’s original squad was forced into isolation due to the COVID-19 virus.
