England add Jofra Archer to squad for second Test against India

Birmingham, Jun 26: England on Thursday added fast bowler Jofra Archer to their squad for the second Test against India, starting here from July 2.

Archer has struggled with elbow-related injury to his bowling arm over the last several years. He last played in a Test more than four years ago against India in Ahmedabad.

“The 30-year-old right-arm quick returns to the England Test set-up for the first time since February 2021 and will be looking to add to his 13 Test caps at Edgbaston next week,” the ECB said in a statement.

England lead five-match series 1-0 after defeating India in the opening Test by five wickets at Leeds.
