England welcomes back Jofra Archer to the Test squad for the upcoming second Test against India at Edgbaston. Archer, who last played a Test match in February 2021, is eager to showcase his skills in the red-ball format once more.
Archer’s comeback to red-ball cricket involved a game against Durham in Chester-le-Street, which resulted in a draw.
The England Cricket Board announced Archer’s inclusion via social media.
Archer’s absence from the ODI series against the West Indies was due to a thumb injury sustained during his IPL stint with Rajasthan Royals.
England men’s Test Squad: Ben Stokes (C), Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.
