England Recall Jofra Archer at Lord's for Third Test vs India

News summary

England's fast bowler Jofra Archer is set to make a highly anticipated return to Test cricket after a hiatus of over four years caused by injuries, with his comeback planned meticulously by the ECB's coaching and medical staff. Archer is expected to play in the third Test against India at Lord's, replacing Josh Tongue, and his presence is seen as a potential game-changer against India's strong batting lineup, which includes the in-form captain Shubman Gill who has scored 585 runs in his first two Tests as skipper. England captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum have expressed optimism about Archer's return and its impact on the series, which is currently tied 1-1. Archer's rehabilitation involved gradual load building at Sussex's County Ground near his home, allowing him to prepare steadily for this comeback. Meanwhile, India plans to recall star seamer Jasprit Bumrah for the match, adding to the challenge England's batsmen face. The third Test at Lord's is highly anticipated, with both teams looking to gain an advantage in this closely fought series.
