Jofra Archer Provides Massive Update About His Availability For Ashes Series

England pacer Jofra Archer admitted that playing more than one Ashes Test during the summer would be a "bonus" for him after his return from injury, which kept him out of the sport for nearly two years. Archer is aware of opportunities that are before him in 2023, with a home Ashes summer and defence of 50-over World Cup title in India during October-November after it. These are the events which helped him announce his arrival at international level back in 2019. "It is pretty similar actually. If you caught form at the right time in 2019, you probably would have been able to carry it throughout the whole summer, whereas now you have got a couple of months before the World Cup," said Archer as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
