England Are Hopeful Of Archer Playing T20 World Cup In June, Says Rob Key
T20 World Cup: England men’s managing director Rob Key is hopeful that fast-bowler Jofra Archer will be available to play in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, happening in the USA and West Indies from June 1-29.
Archer has been out of competitive cricket since May last year after suffering the recurrence of a long-standing right elbow injury while playing for Mumbai Indians in the 2023 IPL. After missing out on Ashes and ODI World Cup, Archer was seen training with the England squad during their white-ball tour of the West Indies in December last year.
England will be defending the Men’s T20 World Cup they won in 2022 in Australia through their campaign opener against Scotland in Barbados on June 4. "Our plan is the T20 World Cup, building him up slowly. I saw him bowl in the Caribbean and it was like he'd never been away," said Key to the BBC's Tailenders podcast.
