Jofra Archer Nears England Test Return vs India

News summary

England fast bowler Jofra Archer is being considered for a Test comeback in the second match against India at Edgbaston in early July, subject to proving his fitness after a long injury layoff. Archer has been sidelined since 2021 due to a series of injuries, including a fractured elbow, a stress fracture of the back, and a recent thumb ligament injury sustained during the IPL. He is scheduled to play for Sussex second XI and in a County Championship game against Durham to demonstrate his readiness. England selector Luke Wright stated that Archer's inclusion will depend on his performance and ability to stay injury-free during these games. Archer's return is especially important as England's seam attack has been weakened by injuries to Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, and Olly Stone. The management is proceeding cautiously, assessing Archer's fitness on a day-to-day basis before making the final selection.
