Stuart Broad: 'I'm not back to my best yet'

Stuart Broad admits that he is still trying to find his form for England after recently recovering from knee surgery.

England bowler Stuart Broad has admitted that he is still trying to find his rhythm following a four-month spell on the sidelines.

Broad returned to the squad for the Tri-series with Australia and India after taking time off to have surgery on a long-standing knee problem, and he concedes that it has been difficult to find his form.

"Four-and-a-half months is quite a decent lay-off," the seamer, who has failed to take a wicket in the first three games of the Tri-series, is quoted as saying by The Mirror. "You grow in each game and I think a bit of extra pace comes with rhythm and match feeling.

"I've got a decent amount of experience, but I've bowled probably one too many bad balls in my spells and in one-day cricket now you can't afford to do that.

"I've bowled more of those than at my best, but I know as a player I can go through these little periods where I might not pick up wickets for a couple of games, then I seem to get a handful."

England take on India in Perth tomorrow.
