Archer has not played professional cricket since the Indian Premier League last May.
Rob Key has backed Jofra Archer to prove he is England’s “special” one at the T20 World Cup but admits he is still crossing his fingers over the seamer’s fitness after a year out of the game.
“Jofra is a bowler that’s just so special you do everything you can to try to get him back playing,” said Key, England’s managing director of men’s cricket. Archer is currently playing club cricket in Barbados and will turn out for Sussex’s second XI before featuring in a four-match warm-up series against Pakistan at the end of May.
“Chris had an outstanding summer in the Ashes last year so we see him as someone who is going to feature in Test cricket,” noted Key.
