Archer In Contention To Play For England From Second Test Against India, Says Wright
Jofra Archer: Fast bowler Jofra Archer is in contention to play for England in their second Test against India at Edgbaston, said national selector Luke Wright. He added that an exact idea of Archer’s fitness will come when Sussex play Durham in a County Championship game at Chester-le-Street happening in two weeks’ time.
Archer hasn’t played red-ball cricket for four years due to multiple injuries in elbow and back. He was set to make a red-ball comeback for England Lions in their series against India A, but a thumb injury picked while fielding for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 has kept him out of action.
"Jof's also trucking along really well actually. The plan is for him to play a few second-team games, loading up in the second team for Sussex. Then the idea for him is to play for Sussex against Durham during the first Test (when it begins in Leeds on June 20)."
