Jofra Archer Set For Return In Series-opener Against Pakistan, Confirms Buttler

By IANS News May 22, 2024 • 07:06 AM View: 658

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler has confirmed that speedster Jofra Archer will play in the first T20I against Pakistan on Wednesday. The pacer is making a comeback after more than a year-long injury lay-off. Archer's back and elbow injuries made him miss cricket action for more than 12 months. The pacer was also struggling with the same injuries, which restricted him to playing seven matches in the last three years for England.

The 29-year-old pacer is raring to play for Three Lions after being picked in England's 15-member provisional squad for next month's T20 World Cup.
