Jofra Archer will fly to India with England’s World Cup squad on Wednesday night amid a warning that a misfire on the timing of his return could have “serious ramifications”.
Archer, 28, is the one travelling reserve alongside a 15-man squad that is looking to defend its 50-over title over the next seven weeks, making it nine survivors from the victory in 2019 on tour. Though close to a return from injury, the back end of the tournament is the target.
