England fast bowler Jofra Archer is finally ready to make his comeback to red-ball cricket, as he has been named in Sussexs squad to face Durham in the County Championship this Sunday. If he plays, it will be his first first-class match in over 4 years.
Archer, now 30, has faced a tough time with repeated injuries, especially to his right elbow and back. These issues kept him away from Test cricket since 2021 and out of red-ball matches since May of that year.
However, he has recently returned to play for England in white-ball formats and looks set to take the next big step in his recovery, as reported by BBC.
Reeling from injuries, Jofra Archer has been sidelined from the ongoing Test series between India and England. However, the pacer is desperate for a comeback.
He has been named in Sussexs squad for their upcoming County game against Durham, beginning on June 22. Archer last played a Test in 2021, and for the past 4 years, his career has been plagued with several serious injuries.
