Evening StandardJofra Archer out of England Test series vs New Zealand with elbow injury
Jofra Archer has been ruled out of England’s Test series against New Zealand next month due to a long-standing elbow injury. Archer, 26, returned to action in this week’s County Championship match against Kent - his first competitive appearance since undergoing surgery at the end of March to remove a piece of glass from his hand - but bowled only five overs in the visitors’ second innings at Hove. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed in a statement on Sunday evening that the fast bowler would not feature in the squad to face the Black Caps, saying he was “suffering from pain in his right elbow when bowling”.
