Uncapped pace bowler Stuart Broad was called up Sunday into England's 13-man squad for the first Test against India starting at Lord's on Thursday. Broad, 21, was included after fast bowler Stephen Harmison was rated "extremely doubtful" on Saturday for the opening match of a three-Test series after suffering a recurrence of his hernia injury while playing for Durham.
Leicestershire's Broad, the son of former England opening batsman Chris, has played nine one-day internationals but has yet to play in a Test. He was included along with Lancashire quick James Anderson, the pair set to compete for the final place in England's starting side if, as expected, Harmison is unfit.
