LONDON, 22 Dec: Jofra Archer was recalled by England for the first time in over a year after being named on Thursday in a 14-strong squad for an upcoming three-match one-day international series in South Africa.
Sussex fast bowler Archer was one of the stars of England’s 2019 50-over World Cup triumph but his career has since been blighted by elbow and back injuries.
The 27-year-old Barbados-born quick last played for England in a Twenty20 international against India at Ahmedabad in March 2021, but it is more than two years since the most recent of his 13 ODIs.
But having missed the whole of the 2022 English season through injury, Archer played for the second-string England Lions in a warm-up match against the Test side in Abu Dhabi last month ahead of their 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan. (AFP)
