England quick Jofra Archer won’t take part in the Ashes series after sustaining another injury to his problematic right elbow.
Archer will miss the ongoing home Test series against India, the Twenty20 World Cup and the Ashes in Australia, the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.
Scans last week revealed Archer “has suffered a recurrence of a stress fracture of his right elbow.”
He had the same injury in February 2020 which ruled him out of the Sri Lanka tour and Indian Premier League.
Archer had surgery this May to remove a bone fragment from his elbow and returned to play last month in limited-overs matches for his Sussex side. But he felt increasing discomfort in the elbow during matches.
The ECB said he will rest and have a medical review in the autumn.

I think he'll end up a white ball cricketer.

He definitely would have been a handful.

Bugger. He might be a handful on Aussie pitches. Robinson's bouncy seam might make up for it though...
