England’s Archer targeting T20 World Cup: Key

LONDON: England pace bowler Jofra Archer could play in this year’s T20 World Cup but will not play Test cricket until 2025, according to England managing director Rob Key.

The 29-year-old has not played for England in any format since March 2023 because of an elbow injury. “The whole plan with Jofra is he is going to play white-ball cricket this summer,” Key told Sky Sports on Friday. Archer’s England career has been plagued by injuries and he has not played a Test match since the tour of India in 2021. “Jofra’s been out at Sussex’s pre-season in India and bowled quickly out there. He bowled really well,” Key said.
