Jofra Archer ruled out of England’s tour of West Indies

KOLKATA: Fast-bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of England’s white-ball tour of the West Indies next month due to a setback in his rehabilitation from a stress fracture. As per Rob Key, England men’s managing director, Archer experienced elbow pain while training with England during the Men’s ODI World Cup in Mumbai. Archer travelled to India as a reserve player, with his name absent from England’s 15-player World Cup due to the reoccurrence of a stress fracture in his right elbow which flared up while playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023, ruling out of the entire home summer this year.

After 18 months of absence due to elbow and back injuries, Archer made a comeback to competitive cricket earlier this year on England’s white-ball tours to South Africa and Bangladesh after playing in inaugural edition of SA20. IANS
