England fast bowler Jofra Archer is "ticking all the boxes" following his return from debilitating elbow and back injuries but is still "not fully firing on all cylinders", their white-ball Australian head coach Matthew Mott has said. Archer, 27, has not payed for England since March 2021 and not taken part in any competitive match since July 2021, as he struggled with elbow injuries and back stress fracture. He was scheduled to return to the field last year after undergoing multiple elbow surgeries in 2021 but a back stress fracture days before his comeback further delayed his return.
