- Pace bowler could be forced to miss trip to the IPL
- Return from injury may be pushed back to summer
Jofra Archer will have surgery on a hand injury suffered “while cleaning at his home in January” and, coupled with a recent second injection for his longstanding elbow issue, may now be ruled out of the entire Indian Premier League.
Archer was already due to miss the start of next month’s IPL to rest the elbow problem which hampered his India tour but news of complications to a past cut on his bowling hand – due to be operated on this Monday – may well push his return into the summer.
