New Delhi: Though England have won fourth test and taken 2-1 lead without pacer Stuart Broad who had to leave the field after getting a nasty blow on his face but he would be more than keen to appear for the final test, to be played at oval, even if he has to wear a protective mask.
There are examples of athletes wearing mask to ensure their presence in the field after getting injury on face. Footballers Demba Ba and Paul Gascoigne are such examples.
The nasty blow Broad took when he top-edged a bouncer from Varun Aaron into the gap between the peak of his helmet and grille during England's thumping fourth Test win looked to have ruled him out of the series climax.
