Broad to miss warm-up clash
16 January 2009
Broad, 23, has had injections in his right shoulder in a bid to make the first one-day international on Friday but will not feature in Potchefstroom.
He incurred the damage in a practice match 11 days ago and missed both Twenty20 internationals against Graeme Smith's side.
"He's had a number of injections in the past few days and we are waiting to see the reaction to those injections, to see whether it settles," said England coach Andy Flower.
England are even considering calling up an extra bowler to the touring party.
Fast bowler James Anderson (knee) played in Sunday's 20-over mauling despite not being 100% fit, while Graeme Swann has an intercostal muscle problem and neither will be considered for the warm-up game.
Paul Collingwood (lower back discomfort) is also extremely doubtful.
"Unless it loosens up a lot, I don't think he (Collingwood) will play in Tuesday's game either," added Flower.
Availability is such that the side virtually picks itself, and Graham Onions will return following his back injury.
