England bowler Jofra ruled out of Tests until ’25

Saturday, 6 April 2024



England pace bowler Jofra Archer will not play Test cricket until 2025 but this summer's T20 World Cup is "absolutely" a realistic goal, says managing director Rob Key, reports BBC.
Archer, 29, has not played for England in any format since March 2023 because of an elbow injury.
The T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States starts on 1 June.
"The whole plan with Jofra is he is going to play white-ball cricket this summer," Key told Sky Sports.
"Then hopefully next summer when we play India then the Ashes [in Australia] we get him back for Test cricket." Archer bowled the super over when England beat New Zealand in the final of the 2019 World Cup. However, his career has been hampered by injuries since and he missed the entire home summer last year with a stress fracture in his right elbow.
