The fast launcher of England Jofra Archer did not attend the team training session in Edgbaston on Monday, June 30 due to a family emergency. The Cricket Council of England and Wales (ECB) confirmed that the 30 -year -old should join the team on Tuesday, before the second test against India, which begins Wednesday in Birmingham. Archer, who played a test for the last time in February 2021, was a surprise inclusion in the England team for the five in progress series. His selection occurred at the rear of a return to the red ball cricket, where he overthrew 18 letters and asked for a counter in a four -day county championship match for Durham a few days ago. Although the figures may not have stood out, its pace and its rhythm attracted the attention of selectors and fans, with several clips of its return fate becoming viral on social networks. Having fought recurring elbow problems and a stress fracture in the back in recent years, the potential return of Archer to test the cricket was a major discussion in English cricket circles.
His inclusion adds a powerful advantage to an already confident team from England, which led the 1-0 series after an exciting victory at Headingley, where Ben Duckett and beginner Jamie Smith played in a fourth-blow dramatic race.
