Cricket fans around are anticipating some exciting matches when the T20 World Cup begins on June 2. England, the reigning champions, will play betway, their opponents from Group B, on June 4. Jos Buttler hasn’t announced the England squad yet, but he plans to bring speedster Jofra Archer along for the upcoming competition.
A back ailment prevented Archer, one of the fastest pacers in cricket history, from participating in England’s summer dafabet. Later on, he suffered a stress fracture to his elbow. He hasn’t played in a First Class or Test cricket match since 2021. His right elbow required surgery on April 23 for the sixth time in the previous two years.
Archer will be trying to get into the England team for the upcoming T20 series against Pakistan at the end of May in an effort to prove his fitness before the T20 World Cup. Archer stated, “I haven’t played cricket for a whole 12 months as of yet,” during an appearance on The Athlete’s Voice.
“Last year, I gave performances from January to my 11 circle. You see, I believe I played one or two games for Sussex the previous year, so I took a full year off.
Hinting to a possible retirement, he continued, “It’s been a while and honestly, I don’t know if I’ve got another stop-start year in me.” The way things stand right now, I’m not sure whether I have any more.”
Come June 1st, I would really like to be a member of the team. Even though I know the Caribbean isn’t as dog-friendly as the UK is, I would really like to be playing that first game again at home, in front of my loved ones, and maybe even in front of my dogs,” he said.
