Jofra Archer 's injury nightmare has continued, with the England quick being ruled out for the entire season after suffering a stress fracture of the back.
Archer had been gearing up to return to action for Sussex in the T20 Blast this summer, having been forced to undergo two operations in a bid to fix a chronic elbow problem. The 27-year-old has not played for England since last March and this latest injury setback is heartbreaking for such a talented cricketer.
Since debuting for England in 2019, Archer has been a key member of the side in all formats, with his combination of express pace, hostility and pinpoint accuracy a rare combination that has made him a genuine threat with both the red and white ball.
