- Fast bowler’s persistent elbow problem flares up again
- Mark Wood and Olly Stone set to offer pace options
Jofra Archer has been ruled out of England’s two-match Test series against New Zealand next month and is waiting to discover whether his persistent elbow problem requires an operation.
The fast bowler had made his first appearance of the season for Sussex in the latest round of County Championship fixtures but, having sent down 18 overs and claimed three wickets, did not bowl on the final two days of his side’s rain-affected draw at home to Kent following soreness in his right elbow.
