LONDON (Reuters) - England fast bowler Stuart Broad will have an operation on his troublesome right knee following the test series against India but expects to be fit for next year's World Cup.

"It has got to the stage where it needs to be done," Broad, who took 6-25 on the opening day of the fourth test against India, was quoted as saying by the BBC on Thursday. "I should be fine for the World Cup."
