England quick Jofra Archer is set to "go straight into the Ashes off the back of the IPL", Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace has revealed.
Archer is currently out in India where he is set to play for the Mumbai Indians, having been bought by the franchise at last year's auction for 8 crore (£789,000). Mumbai are set to play their first game on April 2 and the tournament will culminate with the final on May 28.
Should Mumbai fail to qualify for the knockouts, their final group game is set for May 21 meaning Archer could play for England in their Test against Ireland at Lord's which begins on June 1.
