“I honestly didn't know he was injured until he told me this morning that he's not going to play. Jimmy seemed fine to be. I'm sure it's just a bit of stiffness. I'm no physio or doctor, but he didn't seem
to be limping from the car. I'm sure once he gets running around; he'll want to play because I know how well he's bowling at the minute,” said Swann.

played. We have got vast stocks of fast bowlers at the minute,” continued Swann.
