Broad to front 'International Cricket'

Codemasters has confirmed that England star Stuart Broad will appear on the cover of its forthcoming International Cricket 2010.

Unveiled last month, the new console title features fully-licensed players from England and Australia, along with 14 other national teams.

The game's cover star will be Broad, who has recently emerged as a key player for England, including a man of the match performance at the Oval last year to help win the Ashes tournament.

"It's fantastic for me to follow in the footsteps of legends like Brian Lara and feature on the front of a Codemasters cricket game," said Broad.

"I'm a huge gamer so it's exciting to be involved with Codemasters, who have always produced the most authentic and realistic cricket games.

He added: "When I'm away with the team tour, playing games on our consoles is a great way to pass the time and enjoy some banter. I can't wait to take on the rest of the lads - and beat them - in International Cricket 2010."

Developed by Trickstar Games, International Cricket 2010 features an all new Action Cam for on-pitch views and an improved Power Stick batting system.

Gamers can play instant tournaments, full test series and Twenty20 matches in 21 officially-licensed international stadiums.

International Cricket 2010 will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in the summer.
