Manchester, July 23 (IANS) Veteran England pacer Stuart Broad took to social media on Thursday to share a light moment during his random drug test on the eve of England's series-deciding third #raisethebat Test against West Indies.An ardent Nottingham Forest supporter, Broad saw his team missing out on the play-offs after they lost to Stoke City on an evening of high drama in the English Championship, the second tier of English football."Just been selected for a ‘random' drugs test here at Old Trafford. Tester is a Stoke City fan....You can't be serious," Broad said on his Twitter handle.In an emotional post on Twitter earlier, Nottingham-born Broad shared how he felt about Forest missing out on a playoff spot which could have paved their way for a return to the English Premier League."Nottingham Forest. I'm mad to throw the play offs away like that but in all honesty just shows we're not ready for a step up. The team is building, learning- proof in how panicked we looked tonight & all the late goals all season. Same manager, same core group next season & we stand a chance of growing a special team. "Players learn from feelings & experiences where they lose control & mess things up. We're not ready yet but our time will come. Win, lose or draw- I'll support #NFFC," Broad wrote.Meanwhile, all eyes will be once again on star all-rounders Ben Stokes and Jason Holder when England and West Indies lock horns in the third and final Test.The series remains evenly poised at 1-1 after West Indies won the Southampton Test by four wickets and England came back with a 113-run win in Manchester.Broad did not play in the first Test and had voiced his disappointment at missing out, only to return in the second game and take six wickets.
