Jofra Archer had missed England’s Test Series against New Zealand and their limited-overs series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
In May, Archer wrote in his Daily Mail column that he was willing to sit out of the upcoming India series to get his recovery right, with the focus being on the T20 World Cup and the Ashes. It read, “The way I am looking at things is that I would rather miss a few weeks of a year so that I have a few more years in my career.”
However, Archer might reconsider his decision as England are yet to announce their Test squad against India. The announcement is likely to take place after the Pakistan tour of England that ends on July 20. They will host a five-match series starting August 4.
