Jofra Archer, England 's World Cup winning pace superstar, has been ruled out for the entire season to continue his shocking run of injury problems.
Cruelly this time it is a stress fracture of the back that has left him 'gutted' and on the sidelines once more when he had been hoping to make his international return in white ball cricket later this summer. Archer has been battling with a chronic elbow problem for three years playing only intermittently as the pain was attempted to be managed.
Archer ended up having two bouts of surgery on the elbow in a bid to sort out the problem once and for all, and with a lengthy period designed to ease him back into cricket it was hoped this year would see a return to his all conquering form of 2019. But instead the 27-year-old once again faces an uncertain future as his body reacted badly to an increase in his workload.
