"He will have a scan on Wednesday to determine the extent of his injury."

According to a report in The Guardian, Broad twisted his right ankle after slipping "while undertaking a light warm-up jog."

This comes as a major scare for England as they already miss the services of Jofra Archer, due to injury and their star all-rounder Ben Stokes, as he is taking a break from international cricket to take care of his mental health.
