Jofra Archer will miss all cricket for the rest of 2021, sitting out the upcoming T20 World Cup and Ashes tour with a stress fracture in his elbow.

In a huge blow to England’s preparations for both the World Cup and the Test series, Archer will take an extended break from the game and his injury will be re-evaluated in the autumn ahead of next year’s fixtures.
