England fast bowler Jofra Archer continued his comeback from an elbow injury with six overs for Sussex 2nd XI on Friday.Archer is in line to play his first match for England since March 2023 in the T20 series against Pakistan, which starts on Wednesday.Archer has been building up for the World Cup by playing club cricket in Barbados, the country of his birth, but has not played top-level cricket since the Indian Premier League in May 2023.
His career has been hampered by injuries since bowling the super over in England's 2019 World Cup win and taking part in the Ashes later that summer. He has had a recurring elbow injury since 2020 and has also experienced back problems but was given a two-year central contract last year. His wicket came when Kent batter Ekansh Singh edged a back-of-a-length delivery to third slip, having earlier been hit on the helmet by an Archer bouncer.
England have said Archer will focus on white-ball cricket this year before a possible return to Test cricket in 2025.Go behind the scenes...Inside Usyk's heavyweight transformation & biggest weakness'He's almost bigger than the club' - Can Liverpool thrive after Klopp?
