England pace bowler Jofra Archer will not make his Test return this summer but the T20 World Cup in June is a realistic goal, says managing director Rob Key.

Archer will not play Test cricket until 2025 but this summer's T20 World Cup is "absolutely" a realistic goal, says managing director Rob Key.The T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States starts on 1 June."Then hopefully next summer when we play India then the Ashes we get him back for Test cricket."However, his career has been hampered by injuries since and he missed the entire home summer last year with a stress fracture in his right elbow.

"Jofra's been out at Sussex's pre-season in India and bowled quickly out there. He bowled really well," Key said. "He's now just gone back to the Caribbean, where he will play a little bit of club cricket, stuff like that. "It's all about getting himself ready for that T20 World Cup. He'll hopefully play the Pakistan series , but it's all fingers crossed with Jofra at the moment.

"What we're going to do is take it slower than trying to go too quickly so we get him back for not just a short period, but a long period."Reaction to Thursday's Premier League matches after Chelsea stun Man Utd and Liverpool return to top of the table, plus Friday's news conferences.Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has defended Marcus Rashford, saying the striker is highly motivated to help the club during the season run-in.
