Jofra Archer Ruled Out Of Sri Lanka Tour, IPL Due To Elbow Injury

Mumbai: England fast bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the Test series against Sri Lanka and the Indian Premier League 2020 season due to a stress fracture in his right elbow.

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement, “Archer underwent more scans on his injured right elbow in Britain yesterday, confirming a lower-grade stress fracture.”

He will now embark on an injury rehabilitation program with the ECB medical team as he prepares for the international summer campaign starting in June against the West Indies in a three-match Test series.

Archer returned to Britain from South Africa, before he bid to regain full fitness after a sprained right elbow, preventing him from winning the final three Tests of England’s 3–1 series win over the Proteas.

England is scheduled to tour Sri Lanka to play two-match Test series, commencing from March 19. The 24-year-old seamer was last featured in the first Test against South Africa in December last year.

He is part of the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals but now he will not take part in the upcoming 2020 season
