Jofra Archer's Triumphant Return: A Comeback Journey in County Championship
Jofra Archer returned to first-class cricket after four years, aiming for a comeback in the England test squad. After numerous injuries, Archer is now competing in the County Championship. With his determination, he is hopeful to be selected for the test against India. His performance against Durham was promising.
After four years away from first-class cricket, Jofra Archer made a significant comeback in the County Championship on Sunday. At 30, the pace bowler is looking to secure his spot in England's test squad following multiple injuries.
Archer has not played for England in the test format since February 2021 due to fitness issues, including persistent elbow and back injuries. Recently sidelined by a thumb injury, he missed the one-day international series against the West Indies.
Despite setbacks, Archer's determination to don the English test kit again is evident. "He's had a tough run with injuries," remarked England captain Ben Stokes. "But we're building a structure for his red-ball return." In a match against Durham, Archer contributed 31 runs, aiding Sussex to a respectable total.
