England fast bowler Stuart Broad has revealed that he is yet to get over the mental scars of the day he was hit in the face by a Varun Aaron bouncer last summer.
The 28-year-old suffered extensive damage to his nose and black eyes after Aaron's bouncer found a way through the grille in his helmet during a Test against India in August.
He has since being seeing a psychologist, but still gets woken by dreams of being hit again.
"I get nightmares still and I wake up thinking I have been hit in the face by a ball," Broad told PA.
"Even when I get tired I see balls flying at me. My jaw clicks from it and if I have two glasses of wine I have black eyes."
Broad is not enjoying the best of times at the Cricket World Cup, failing to claim a wicket since he took two in two balls against Australia in the opening-night defeat in Melbourne.
