Jofra Archer will not play Test cricket in 2024 but is targeting a spot in England's squad for the T20 World Cup in June, according to Rob Key, managing director for the men's team. England's match-winner in their 2019 50-over World Cup triumph over New Zealand, bowling the Super Over in the final, Archer has been plagued since by a persistent elbow injury that has restricted his appearances and has ruled him out completely since May last year.
'He'll hopefully play in the series against Pakistan , but it's always fingers-crossed at the moment with Jofra.' Key added that Archer will only play white-ball cricket in 2024, with the 29-year-old not being risked for five-day Test cricket and the added strain that can place on the body, particularly for fast bowlers. 'We're going to take it slower so that we get him back for not just a short period but we get him for a long period,' Key said.
