Within the third ODI on 5 September 2006, Broad once more found himself on the hat-trick with all the wickets of Abdul Razzaq and Kamran Akmal, but again overlooked the third. He bowled ten overs and ended with figures of three for 57 with one maiden.

Broad was excluded from the squad to the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy as well as the 2006-07 Commonwealth Bank Series. However, he was called up for that finals from the latter following injuries to Jon Lewis and Chris Tremlett. He has also been called into England's squad instead partway over the 2007 World Cup. He finished the tournament by scoring the winning runs in England's final match from the West Indies. Broad also featured within the ODI squad at the conclusion of free airline Indies tour of England in summer 2007, taking three for twenty within the first match to take England to a 1%u20130 lead inside the ODI series.

If I bowl at a quicker speed I can then use variations in pace. If I take 70% of my wickets with the doosra why should I not bowl it? Whether you bowl a doosra or an offbreak, the ball should be bowled on the right line and one
