New Zealand v England: Doug Bracewell in 'party injury' inquiry Coverage: Ball-by-ball Test Match Special commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, BBC Radio 4 LW & via BBC Sport website; updates on BBC Radio 5 live; live text commentary on BBC Sport website & mobile devices New Zealand fast bowler Doug Bracewell is a doubt for the first Test against England, with media reports suggesting he injured his foot at a party. Team manager Mike Sandle has started an investigation into how Bracewell, who will have a fitness test on Tuesday, suffered a cut foot. "I am aware of some allegations that have been levelled," Sandle said. Seam bowler Ian Butler has been called up as cover ahead of the game in Dunedin, which starts on Wednesday. Sandle continued: "I need to sit down and talk to a number of people and obviously Doug is one of them to ascertain some facts. There is a lot I don't know at the moment - I'll work with Doug and I'll work with Heath [Mills] from the players association to get to the bottom of the story. When asked about allegations in the media that the injury could be drink-related, Sandle said: "I'll be very disappointed if it is related to that." It is a distraction. We want to put on a good Test match for our public. This was outside our environment, he wasn't assembled with the New Zealand side - but we have expectations on our players to look after themselves and be fit for New Zealand. Bracewell, 22, was absent from practice at Dunedin's University Oval on Monday and will have to prove his fitness on Tuesday in order to start against England. Butler, 31, has not played a Test since facing Bangladesh in 2004.
