England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad is confident that he can return to form out in New Zealand, as England look to finalise their preperations for the back to back Ashes series later this year...

Broad has struggled with a loss of form, to go alongside an ankle injury, that led to him being left out at the back end of the winning test series out in India.

He will however get an early chance to make a statement to the England coaching staff, that his back to form, when he leads the Twenty20 side in the opening exchanges out in New Zealand.

As the side prepared for the forst of three twenty20 matches, Broad told BBC Sport " "I went three innings without taking a wicket in India and lost my place."

"But I'm quite relaxed, and I know that if I bowl well and hang in there, then wickets come your way." he went on.

Broad insists that his injury problems are behind him ahead of the tour."I'm fit. I just need to test out the impact of it."

The first Twenty20 match starts on Saturday 9th February.
