The England Test is out of side for 52 months due to Jofra Archer injuries. His final test was against India and he would also return against India before the Ashes.
After a long 52-month wait, Jofra Archer is all set to don the England whites again. The speedster has been named in the England Playing XI for 3rd Test at Lord’s against India. Archer last played a Test match back in February 2021 in India. However, with nagging elbow injuries and then a back injury prevented his return. While Archer linked up with the England squad in Birmingham, he was not named in the IND vs ENG Edgbaston Test. Now, the wait is over. However, Gus Atkinson’s return is delayed
