LONDON : No team have successfully defended the Twenty20 World Cup title and England do not have to go far back in the record books to understand the magnitude of the task facing them in the tournament in West Indies and the United States.
LONDON : England fast bowler Jofra Archer has been named in a 15-man provisional squad for the ICC T20 World Cup after recovering from a long-standing elbow injury.
Pacer Jofra Archer will return to international cricket after a hiatus of 14 months after he was named in England's preliminary squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup here on Tuesday. Archer last played for England was in a T20I series against Bangladesh in March 2023. The 29-year-old was England's leading wicket-taker in that series with four scalps from three matches at an economy of 6.63. But since then Archer was forced to sit on the sidelines because of the recurrence of a stress fracture in his right elbow. "Jofra Archer has recovered from his right elbow injury and is named in the squad," said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in its media release.
South African fast bowler Lizaad Williams was on Monday roped in by Delhi Capitals as a replacement for batter Harry Brook in the ongoing Indian Premier League after the Englishman withdrew from the tournament to grieve his grandmother's death.

He has joined Delhi Capitals at his base price of Rs 50 lakh.
Delhi Capitals (DC) are preparing for the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League by welcoming their skipper Rishabh Pant back to the squad. Pant suffered a near-death road accident in late 2022 which ruled him out of action for more than a year but he is now raring to make a return to the team by leading from the front.
England batter Harry Brook has decided to withdraw from IPL 2024 following the death of his grandmother.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises were left fuming over several foreign cricketers opting out of the competition citing personal reasons. The latest cricketer to pull out of the tournament was England batter Harry Brook who was bought for Rs 4 crore by Delhi Capitals ahead of the new season. He was not the first player to pull out of IPL due to personal reasons as Alex Hales, Jason Roy and Mitchell Starc have done the same in the past. According to a report by Cricbuzz, IPL franchises were not happy with the development and they want Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to address the issue.
