England bowler Broad makes return to work
Stuart Broad gave a glimpse into the protocols England players face on their return to individual training yesterday.
Broad revealed he was one of the England bowlers selected for individual sessions as they look to get in shape for a proposedbehind-closed-doors series with West Indies in July.

Broad was allowed into the pavilion for a toilet break and was given his own designated toilet, revealing he had to use the ladies' room.
Up to 18 bowlers will take part in individualised training sessions across seven county grounds from Thursday.

*England women's players could return to training as early as next month as managing director Clare Connor revealed they are committed to completing as much of the international schedule as possible. Connor also suggested England are considering hosting a Women's Tri-Series also involving India and South Africa later in the summer. India were scheduled to travel for white-ball assignments in June and July while South Africa are due over in September but a possible alternative to those series involves a condensed programme between the three nations.
