England are reportedly hopeful Jofra Archer could be back in action early next year after spending almost two years out of action with injury.
Archer last played for England in March 2021 and was first sidelined with a serious elbow problem, with the 27-year-old undergoing two operations in a bid to fix it. However, before he could return to action for Sussex in the T20 Blast earlier this year, he suffered a stress fracture of the back and was ruled out for the entire summer.
He is now back bowling with Sussex as he continues his recovery and the Telegraph report that England are 'cautiously optimistic' Archer could make his international return against South Africa early next year.
