Jofra Archer’s latest injury nightmare is almost over after the seamer was included in England’s T20 World Cup squad, alongside uncapped spinner Tom Hartley and veteran seamer Chris Jordan.

But after a slow and steady period of rehabilitation he has been passed fit and takes his place in a 15-man squad that will defend the title Jos Buttler’s side won in Australia in 2022.While the squad is officially deemed ‘provisional’, with just 24 hours until the International Cricket Council’s deadline and no reserve players named, only further fitness setbacks will stop the 29-year-old making his long-awaited comeback.

Archer’s close friend and fellow Bajan, Chris Jordan, also returns to the squad for his fifth T20 World Cup campaign. Hartley has nipped in front of Rehan Ahmed as the back-up spin option to established duo Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali, a reward for his mature displays on his maiden Test tour of India.
