Jofra Archer's Comeback: A Test of Resilience

England fast bowler Jofra Archer was absent from Monday's training session at Edgbaston due to a family emergency. However, he is anticipated to rejoin the squad Tuesday, ahead of the second Test against India.

Archer, who missed the opening Test, was added to the team for the five-match series last week. His return is seen as a potential boost for England, who currently lead the series 1-0.

Persistent elbow injuries have sidelined Archer from Test cricket for over four years, with his last appearance being against India in Ahmedabad. The upcoming Test is set to commence on Wednesday, with England eager to extend their lead.
