England bowler Stuart Broad has claimed that he expects to feature in his side's opening World Twenty20 clash against New Zealand on Saturday.

The 27-year-old has been struggling with a knee injury, but has revealed that he will take to the nets today ahead of tomorrow's encounter.

"I'm very hopeful," BBC Sport quotes Broad as saying. "We have training today and I'll bowl two spells in the nets. I'm very confident I'll play a part tomorrow and in the rest of the tournament."

England lost both warm-up fixtures against the West Indies and India respectively.
