England Are Hopeful Of Archer Playing T20 World Cup In June, Says Rob Key

T20 World Cup: England men’s managing director Rob Key is hopeful that fast-bowler Jofra Archer will be available to play in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, happening in the USA and West Indies from June 1-29. Archer has been out of competitive cricket since May last year after suffering the recurrence of a long-standing right elbow injury while playing for Mumbai Indians in the 2023 IPL. After missing out on Ashes and ODI World Cup, Archer was seen training with the England squad during their white-ball tour of the West Indies in December last year. England will be defending the Men’s T20 World Cup they won in 2022 in Australia through their campaign opener against Scotland in Barbados on June 4. "Our plan is the T20 World Cup, building him up slowly. I saw him bowl in the Caribbean and it was like he'd never been away," said Key to the BBC's Tailenders podcast. He also revealed that Archer was keen on playing IPL 2024, but wasn’t given the go-ahead for it. "I don't want to get back to this thing where he plays and then goes down again. He wanted to play in the IPL, but we said not this time. Hopefully the years he has missed he can add to the end of his career. He is such a talent." Key, the former England cricketer, also called for dedicated windows to be made in the cricketing calendar for Test cricket in order to protect the oldest format of the game. His views come in the light of South Africa sending a weakened Test squad to New Zealand as the two-match series in February clashes with second season of SA20. "Test cricket needs to have windows. There was a two-month window for the Ashes last summer - that could be one. There could be one at Christmas. There are all of these franchise competitions, like the IPL, and there is a global white-ball competition every year. Test cricket needs a window where you can't play anything else." "The rest of us - England, Australia, India and the International Cricket Council in particular - need to look after the other countries. We have to stop being snobby about Test cricket. We have this view that you can't play Test cricket unless you have played 150 red-ball games, or play in a certain way. No, just pick the most talented players," he concluded. Read the full article

England was taken aback by fast bowler Jofra Archer’s return from injury in a Barbados club match last week, with team chief Rob Key saying on Monday unaware of his involvement.Long-term injury absentee Archer joined up with England, currently on a white-ball tour of the West Indies, in Barbados -- the island of his birth -- on Friday as part of the Sussex quick’s ongoing rehabilitation from a longstanding right elbow problem. It is understood he flew back to the UK on Sunday but not before turning out a few hours earlier for his old school side Foundation on day one of its three-day fixture against Lords in division one of the Barbados Cricket Association league, where he was the pick of the attack with 4-18.READ | England announces 16 member squad for India Test seriesBut it appears he did so without England’s knowledge, with England director of men’s cricket Rob Key, speaking after announcing a Test squad for the tour of India on Monday, saying: “I’m not aware of that -- I’ll find out.” The Cricketer website reported one of Archer’s wickets was via left-arm spin.The 28-year-old’s paceman’s last professional appearance was in May, and Archer was ruled out of the Ashes by a recurrence of a stress fracture in a right elbow that has caused him repeated problems since his breakout year of 2019. Archer, not included in the Test squad, spent just three days in Mumbai after being named as England’s only “travelling reserve” for the recent 50-over World Cup, but was awarded a two-year central contract in October. England, wary of rushing Archer back, denied him permission to enter the Indian Premier League auction with a view to possibly having him fit for the 2024 T20 World Cup in June. “Jofra was bowling out here (in Barbados),” Key added. “As you often see with Jofra, he rocks up, ends up bowling 95 miles an hour and he looks like he’s an absolute genius. “But we’re just going to take it slow with him. We don’t want to put any sort of deadlines on him. That’s what we’ve done in the past, we’re trying to learn from what we’ve done in the past with Jofra. “Actually now we’re taking control of him coming back. We’re not going to say, ‘you need to get back for this part here’.”
