England fast bowler Jofra Archer was ruled out for the rest of the year on Thursday because his problematic right elbow has a new injury.
Archer will miss the ongoing home Test series against India, the Twenty20 World Cup and the Ashes in Australia, the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.
Scans last week revealed Archer “has suffered a recurrence of a stress fracture of his right elbow.”
He had the same injury in February 2020 which ruled him out of the Sri Lanka tour and Indian Premier League.
