Broad, who flew home early from the Test series in India due to a heel injury last December, is yet to recover fully. And Miller feels that the selectors will have to make sure that he is used in the best possible way for English cricket.

"The concern is that there have been two or three niggles that have affected his form and availability," Miller told reporters here.

"Anybody with an injury is a concern to us and we've got to manage workloads as best as we can, that's why we're continually looking at other players. We will look at it and make sure he's used in the best possible way for English cricket. He knows that," he added.

 

Although Broad is suppose to join the England squad ahead of the final two ODIs of the ongoing five-match series, he is unlikely to play either of those games.

Currently he is visiting a kit specialist in Germany to be fitted with customised boots, aimed to alleviate the problem on his left heel that takes the brunt of the force during his delivery stride. (MORE)
