Jofra Archer Returns To England’s Test Squad For Second Match Against India
Indian Premier League: Fast bowler Jofra Archer returns to the England Test set-up for the first time since February 2021 after being named in the squad for the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy game against India, starting at Edgbaston on July 2.
A recurrence of an elbow injury and a stress fracture in the back meant Archer was largely sidelined from playing Tests for England after February 2021. Archer turned out for Sussex in their recent County Championship game against Durham at Chester-Le-Street, marking his first red-ball appearance in four years, and returned with figures of 1-32 in 18 overs.
A thumb injury sustained while playing for Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Indian Premier League (IPL) in early May further delayed Archer’s return to first-class cricket and caused him to miss England’s white-ball series against the West Indies.
