London: The England team preparing for the Ashes series suffered a heavy blow. Pacer Jofra Archer will not play in the series. In 2021, the star injured his right elbow. Then he underwent surgery. The current injury is a continuation of the 2021 injury. Archer was unable to recover from a back injury in 2022.
Archer returned to the England jersey last January. Archer played in two ODIs against South Africa. Archer also played against Bangladesh in March. Later joined Mumbai Indians for IPL. But initially he could not play.
He was out for 19 days. Meanwhile, he went to Belgium and underwent surgery. An official confirmation from Mumbai Indians came last week that Archer is returning home. After the examination, it was noticed that the elbow was injured again. The Ashes begin on June 28 at Lord’s. Before that, England will play a four-day Test against Ireland. The match is on June 1.
