England have received a major injury boost, with Jofra Archer set to begin bowling again in the nets with Sussex following serious elbow and back problems which have prevented him from playing international cricket since March 2021.
Archer first underwent two operations to sort out a chronic elbow issue and was set to make his return in the T20 Blast with Sussex this summer before suffering a stress fracture of the back. He revealed in June he was due to be back bowling in September and the i report that Archer will start bowling in the nets 'in the next few weeks', with England planning to 'ramp up his recovery in October and November' in the hope that he will be back in action early next year.
Former England seamer Steven Finn, who is now teammates with Archer at Sussex, told i: "He's progressing nicely. I've seen him a fair bit over the last few weeks and he's very positive about the way it's all progressing and healing.
