Jofra Archer makes long-awaited England return as ODI squad vs South Africa announced

Jofra Archer has been named in his first England squad in almost two years, with the World Cup winner set to return to action in the three-match ODI series against South Africa which begins in January.

Archer last played international cricket in March 2021 and has had a torrid time with injuries, having first been 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 earlier this year and was subsequently sidelined for the entire summer.

Reece Topley is also set to be back in action for England, having been heartbreakingly ruled out of England's T20 World Cup winning campaign after injuring his ankle on an advertising 'Toblerone' on the eve of the tournament.
