Already having missed a lot of international cricket since his previous outing in March, The ECB last Thursday (August 5) ruled out Archer for the rest of the year, including the T20 World Cup and the Ashes, when scans revealed that he has “suffered a recurrence of a stress fracture of his right elbow.”

The cricketer has now entered an extended break from the game and will have a medical review on his elbow in early autumn, the ECB further informed.
