Archer has played 13 Tests for England and picked 42 wickets at an average of 31.04. \u201cEngland men\u2019s fast bowler Jofra Archer will not be joining the England Test squad for today\u2019s training session at Edgbaston on Monday (June 30), due to a family emergency.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe is expected to rejoin the squad tomorrow, Tuesday, ahead of the Rothesay second Test at Edgbaston, which begins on Wednesday against India,\u201d said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Previously, Archer made a return to the England Test set-up for the first time since February 2021 after being named in the squad for the second Test against India. A recurrence of an elbow injury and a stress fracture in the back meant Archer was largely sidelined from playing Tests for England after February 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Archer\u2019s selection came after he turned out for Sussex in their recent County Championship game against Durham at Chester-le-Street, in what was his first red-ball appearance in four years, and returned with figures of 1-32 in 18 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from Archer, Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Sam Cook, and Jamie Overton are the fast bowlers in England\u2019s squad for the Edgbaston Test. England are currently leading the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series by 1-0, after sealing a thrilling five-wicket win with a successful chase of 371 at Headingley.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
