NEW DELHI : T20 World Cup winning captain Jos Buttler and several of his England team mates have been retained by their Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises but Australia counterpart Aaron Finch and New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson were released.
Out of action since March 2021, England pacer Jofra Archer is gradually inching closer to a return. The marquee fast bowler has missed plenty of important cricketing assignments due to an injury and will not be a part of the England squad in the T20 World Cup 2022 either. But, as far as the plans for 2023 go, Jofra could be in the thick of the action for England. In fact, the pacer could return to action as soon as January next year in a bilateral series against South Africa.
England fast-bowler Jofra Archer has signed a one-year contract extension with Sussex.
Rob Key revealed his appointment of Matthew Mott as England’s limited-overs coach was based on the assumption Eoin Morgan was on the verge of international retirement.
Eoin Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this week, also ending a seven-year stint as England's white-ball captain. Morgan, who took over as England captain back in 2015, led the team to their maiden 50-over World Cup title in 2019 on home soil. After the announcement, tributes have poured in from all corners for the 35-year-old, with several current and former cricketers congratulating Morgan on a glorious career. England pacer Jofra Archer also wished his former captain, but in a cheeky way.
Jofra Archer has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering stress a fracture to his back in the latest injury blow to hit the England fast-bowler.
The after effects of the coronavirus lockdown could be a contributing factor to the spate of stress fractures among England bowlers, according to an ECB research specialist.
New England captain Ben Stokes will lead his side out against New Zealand at Lord’s next month without a host of fast bowling options available to him.
