For the second Test match against India, Jofra Archer rejoins the England squad after a four-year absence.
A 30-year-old pacer finally returns after suffering injuries.
Jofra Archer has returned to red-ball cricket after a four-year break after being selected in England’s team for the second Test match against India. Before being sidelined from international cricket due to a series of elbow and back problems, the 30-year-old last participated in a Test match in February 2021, which was also played in India.
The addition of Archer, who is renowned for his quick pace and deadly short balls, is anticipated to strengthen England’s bowling attack, particularly on subcontinental grounds where reverse swing and pace can be vital.
Archer’s return follows a successful rehabilitation and promising performances in domestic and limited-overs cricket. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see whether he can recapture the fiery form that made him a star during the 2019 Ashes and World Cup.
