West Indies opener Chris Gayle will travel to Germany to get treatment for his lower back pain in order to ensure he is fully fit by the time the national team’s Test series against New Zealand gets underway on June 8 in Jamaica.

England national selector Geoff Miller has admitted that pace bowler Stuart Broad’s heel injury is a major concern to him and the rest of the team management since there may come a time in the near future when he will not be able to play in all three formats.
