Right from the beginning, the ECB was insistent that Archer can’t join IPL this season. The same information was circulated among all ten franchises by the IPL governing committee.

Now The Daily Telegraph has reported that this subject could be revisited next month. The paper reports that ECB will not rush Archer this year for the test matches but a T20 return is a possibility. The report further claims that Archer could feature in The Hundred & may be allowed to play a few games in IPL.
