Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has backed Stuart Broad to do a fantastic job for England in the ongoing second Test of the three-match series against the West Indies after the veteran pacer returned in the Playing XI following Southampton Test snub last week.

After missing out on a home Test for the first time in eight years, Broad has been drafted into the England XI for the second Test following a four-wicket defeat in the opening Test with James Anderson resting for the Old Trafford fixture.

On day two of the ongoing series decider Test, Broad bowled five overs and gave away just 14 runs to the tourists after England declared their first innings at 469/9.

Tendulkar took to Twitter to back England’s decision to recall the experienced Broad, saying the pacer has a “spring in his walk” while extending his support to the latter to make an impact in the ongoing second Test.

The legendary batsman tweeted: “There is a spring in @StuartBroad8’s walk and I have a feeling that he is out on the field with plenty to show. #ENGvWI.”

Noteworthy, Windies ended the day two at 32/1 in 14 overs as Sam Curran dismissed John Campbell after scoring just 12 runs, trailing by 437 runs with Kraigg Brathwaite and Alzarri Joseph at the crease.
