He is free to play after two negative coronavirus tests. Archer said in his Daily Mail column published on Wednesday that he had not “committed a crime”. Archer said England had enough bowling resources if he was not ready to return. Second Test standout performer Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, veteran James Anderson and Mark Wood are all available.

Barbados-born Archer, subjected to racist abuse by a spectator during a tour of New Zealand in 2019, said he would no longer tolerate such comments online.
