Stuart Broad has welcomed the increased competition for places in the England attack following the emergence of Steven Finn. <table style="width: 119px; height: 42px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="119" align="right" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/jun/finn.jpg" border="0" /></td></tr> <tr> <td> Rising star: England pace bowler Steven Finn </td></tr></tbody></table>Middlesex paceman Finn, 21, was last weekend named England man of the series after claiming 15 wickets in the 2-0 Test win over Bangladesh. Broad himself missed the series as he was rested by the England and Wales Cricket Board in order to undergo a strengthening programme ufffd treatment they are now planning for Finn. Broad, 23, told Sky Sports News: "It's fantastic to see. He's a great talent and he has all the attributes to be a fantastic bowler. "It's great to see England developing a stable of bowlers who can come in and perform. "When there's pressure on players to perform, players always play at their best and that can only help England win." Broad is now likely to return to the England fold for their upcoming one-day matches against Scotland, Australia and Pakistan while Finn sits out. The team will be led by Andrew Strauss, who is returning as Test and one-day captains this summer after missing the tour of Bangladesh earlier this year. During his absence Alastair Cook captained in both the Test and one-day arena while Paul Collingwood guided England to World Twenty20 success. Any suggestions Strauss might be moved aside in all limited-overs cricket have, however, been dismissed by coach Andy Flower. Broad added: "Obviously Andrew Strauss will come straight back into the side - he's the one-day international captain and he's performed fantastically well over the past year since he's come back into the side. "We all know what he can do at one-day international cricket. He's a dangerous left-handed batter so he can keep the balance of the left-right hander. "There's no doubt in the changing room that he fits that role perfectly and I'm looking forward to playing under him next week. "He's very confident in his one-day cricket and all of his players are in his ability."
