Manchester - England's Jofra Archer was ruled out of the second Test against the West Indies and sent into five days of isolation on Thursday for breaking"bio-secure protocols" aimed at stopping coronavirus infections, the England and Wales Cricket Board said.
"I am extremely sorry for what I have done," Archer, who played in last week's first Test, said in an ECB statement. It is understood Archer's breach of the rules took place sometime after Sunday's end of the first Test at Hampshire's Ageas Bowl and before the squad arrived at Old Trafford. Earlier in the campaign, there was a very real concern that Covid-19 could wipe out the 2020 home English cricket programme entirely, with ECB chief executive Tom Harrison outlining a worst-case scenario of a game-wide loss of some £380 million if that happened.
