AHMEDABAD, March 21: An injured Jofra Archer was on Sunday omitted from a 14-member England squad for the three-match ODI series against India starting in Pune on Tuesday.
England captain Eoin Morgan on Saturday had revealed that Archer was likely to pull out of the ODI series as the star pacer’s elbow injury has worsened.
“He has been deemed unfit for selection for the ODI series that features matches on 23, 26 and 28 March,” the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said.
Three additional players – Jake Ball, Chris Jordan and Dawid Malan – who were a part of the just-concluded T20I series, which India won 3-2, will travel with the squad as cover.
Archer to miss IPL
Archer will miss the beginning part of this year’s Indian Premier League, the ECB announced on Sunday.
The ECB said Archer, a Rajasthan Royals player, is returning home for further management and investigation of his right elbow injury.
“The ECB medical team will assess the player and, together with Jofra, develop a treatment plan and a return-to-play schedule in due course. As a consequence, Jofra will miss the start of this year’s Indian Premier League,” it said in a statement.
“Archer’s elbow issue has deteriorated over the course of the T20 International series and made it increasingly challenging for him to maintain performance levels.”
