England refused to a Test in Karachi being included in the schedule for their current tour but a one-day international which they did agree to passed off without incident.
Broad, though, rejected the suggestion that England's heavy winter schedule in Australia before the World Cup, which featured a five-Test Ashes series, seven one-day internationals and two Twenty20 games over a three-month period, was to blame for their injury problems.
England received some good injury news with long-term absentee Stuart Broad revealing he was ahead of schedule in his return from the stomach injury he suffered during the second Ashes Test in Adelaide.
But he looks to be well placed for inclusion in Wales' testing summer schedule that sees them facing South Africa in Cardiff before embarking on a two-Test tour of New Zealand.
