Stuart Broad has been rested for the start of England's one-day international series with Australia.

The 27-year-old, who finished as the tourists' leading wicket-taker in The Ashes, will sit out of matches in Melbourne and Brisbane.

Tim Bresnan and Steven Finn have been tipped to replace him in Ashley Giles's lineup.

The 50-over series gets underway at the MCG on Sunday morning (UK time).
