England quick Jofra Archer is set to make his return to competitive cricket in the inaugural edition of the SA20, with the 27-year-old due to make a handful of appearances for MI Cape Town.
Archer has not represented England since March 2021 and last played a competitive match in July 2021, having struggled with a host of injury problems in recent years. He was first sidelined with an elbow injury that required two operations.
He then suffered a stress fracture of the back as he prepared to make his comeback for Sussex last summer, ruling him out of action for the remainder of the year. However, Archer is now fully fit and recently bowled nine overs in a warm-up match ahead of England's recent Test tour of Pakistan.
