England fast bowler Jofra Archer will miss both the Twenty20 World Cup and the Ashes series in Australia the England and Wales Cricket Board announced on Thursday. The ECB said in a statement that scans last week on the currently sidelined Archer's right elbow had revealed a recurrence of a stress fracture.
"In response to these findings, he has been ruled out for the rest of the year and will miss the current LV=Insurance Test series against India, the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 and the Ashes series in Australia," the ECB statement added.
Archer was a central figure in 2019's World Cup triumph on home soil. The Sussex paceman was considered vital to England's hopes of winning the T20 World Cup, in the UAE and Oman in October and November.
