Jofra Archer's Potential Comeback
Fast bowler Jofra Archer from England may participate in the second Test against India, which is set to commence on July 2. He is scheduled to play a County Championship match for Sussex in Durham. The absence of Archer and Mark Wood has left England's bowling lineup looking vulnerable during the first Test of the series against India, which is being compared to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's performances. According to a report from a sports media outlet, Archer is expected to make his return to red-ball cricket with Sussex, although he was not included in the squad for this particular County Championship match. Should he successfully play, he could be included in the team for the second Test at Edgbaston against India.
