England bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of this summer’s Ashes series after a recurrence of a stress fracture to his right elbow. Archer, 28, has not played a Test match since February 2021 due to a succession of injuries. Ad He returned home early from the Indian Premier League last week and will now spend time working on his recovery with the England and Sussex medical teams.
Jofra Archer is to miss a second successive summer, and a second successive Ashes series, after scans revealed a recurrence of a stress fracture to his right elbow. The ECB confirmed the news when releasing the squad for next month’s one-off Test against Ireland, for which Jonny Bairstow returns after recovering from a triple leg break and will take the wicketkeeping gloves from Ben Foakes, who has been left out altogether.
The ECB gathered at Edgbaston more than 30 of the nation’s most talented white-ball players, men and women, last Monday to kickstart the publicity drive for August’s third season of the Hundred. Inevitably, many were asked about the competition’s future.
“I t was more formal than I expected it be,” says Matthew Potts, the morning after the night before when, in front of a packed Long Room at Lord’s, amid dickie bows and evening gowns aplenty, the fast bowler was handed a leather-bound Wisden by Mike Brearley as one of the Almanack’s five cricketers of the year.
England captain Ben Stokes has been named 'Leading Cricketer in the World' in the latest edition of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, the publication said on Monday.
Jonny Bairstow has been named the inaugural – and also the 130th – winner of the Wisden Trophy, a new award for the outstanding individual performance by a man or a woman in a Test. The award is introduced in the latest edition of the venerable Almanack, to be published on Thursday.
The Hundred draft on Thursday saw 30 men's players picked across the eight teams and overall 64 players were picked up across the men's and women's categories by eight teams. Welsh Fire went above and beyond to snap the Pakistan pacer duo of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf for the tournament. Welsh Fire's new coach Michael Hussey first selected Tom Abell and Tim David in the draft, then the head coach went to pick the Pakistan pacer duo, as well as the all-round skills of David Willey.
England seamer Mark Wood expects to play a limited role in their Ashes campaign at home later this year, owing to the team's fast bowling options.
