LONDON: England fast bowler Stuart Broad will replace Liam Plunkett in the squad for the five-match One day International (ODI) series against South Africa starting next month, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Friday.
Plunkett was called into the squad earlier in the week as cover for the injured Steven Finn but then suffered a thigh strain.
He had been due to play for England Lions in two 50-over matches against Pakistan A in the United Arab Emirates before heading to Johannesburg but had to pull out of Wednesday’s match in Dubai.
