Jofra archer injury news

However fanciful it was - and it was highly fanciful - that Archer would feature in the Ashes, the dreams of England supporters were fuelled by what the fast bowler is (or was) capable of. Archer is a generational talent. His arrival on the international stage in 2019 was the most exciting by an England player since Kevin Pietersen. In terms of bowlers, it is hard to think of any new England star that got the pulse racing quite like Jofra. Archer was trusted to bowl a super over for the ages in the World Cup final and then, on Test debut, produced a knockout bouncer to floor Steve Smith in a passage of Test cricket equally as compelling as Andrew Flintoff's famous Ashes over at Edgbaston in 2005. After a diet of almost exclusively (and some very talented) fast-medium bowlers, English cricket was dining at Archer's banquet. He was the promised land. • Archer out for summer as England recall Bairstow • Anderson expects to be fit 'in a couple of weeks' • How to follow the Ashes on the BBC Archer's elbow problem first emerged seven months after he made his England debut, in early 2020.

Following his longest England lay-off of 22 months, Archer was able to play some white-ball internationals at the beginning of this year.

Sussex indicated ahead of the county season that Archer may not play any first-class cricket for them before the Ashes, and the difference in workload between T20 and Test cricket is stark.

New Delhi: England's Ashes chances have taken a massive blow as ace pacer Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the entire English summer due to an elbow stress fracture. Archer, who was part of the Mumbai Indians franchise in IPL 2023, was ruled out of IPL due to the same. Archer has been troubled by an elbow and back injury for a few years now. He even missed the IPL 2022 due to the same but returned for the ongoing season, only to be ruled out again after playing just five matches where he took two wickets. "It has been a frustrating and upsetting period for Jofra Archer," said Rob Key, the ECB's managing director for men's cricket as reported by British media. "He was making good progress until a recurrence of the elbow injury, which kept him out for an extended period previously. We wish him the best of luck with his recovery. I'm sure we will see Jofra back to his best and winning games for England, whatever the format. Hopefully, sooner rather than later." The injury is a massive blow to Archer's cricket career which looks gloomy at the moment. Even Archer was not optimistic about playing entire season for England. "Hopefully this summer will have the opportunity to surpass it, but I do not think there will be many other summers of cricket that are better than that. If I can play one game this summer, I will be happy. If I play more than one, that's a bonus," Archer had said.

That was despite the fact he had Getting Archer, still just 28, back onto a cricket field again looks like a huge battle. Rob Key, England’s director of cricket, was right on Tuesday when he stated that Archer was “the most exciting fast-bowler in world cricket in all forms”. His loss, potentially forever for England, is heart-breaking for everyone, not least Archer. For all the Bazball hysteria, England had to rely on Joe Root to steady the ship Key was light on detail when asked whether he might still yet be fit later this year for England’s defence of their 50-over World Cup – the trophy Archer helped deliver by bowling the decisive Super Over during that unforgettable 2019 final against New Zealand at Lord’s. “This news is all very new, so fingers crossed,” he said. “But I can’t tell you now, I don’t think anyone can tell you now. This has baffled quite a few people and quite a few of the specialists so we’ll have to wait and see. “I hope he is fit for the World Cup but I couldn’t tell you at this stage if he is going to be.” Key was keen to point out that Archer was still keen to play Test cricket in the future, but that seems like an unrealistic goal gi...

Archer has not played Test cricket for more than two years but had hoped to make his return against Australia after a long and arduous journey that has included several bouts of surgery on his elbow, as well as a stress fracture in the back which derailed his planned comeback last year. There must be now be grave doubts as to whether the 28-year-old will ever again be available for the rigours of the five-day format. He made his first tentative steps towards full recovery earlier this year, featuring in England's limited-overs tours to South Africa and Bangladesh, but his body has once again broken down following a stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Archer appeared just five times for Mumbai Indians, bowling 20 overs in total, and made a mid-tournament visit to Belgium for treatment on his elbow. He reacted angrily on social media to reports of that trip and managed to bowl at express pace after returning to the IPL, but he was on his way home soon afterwards and England's worst fears have now been realised...
