Jofra Archer ruled out of Ashes with stress fracture

London ,16/5: Fast bowler Jofra Archer was Tuesday ruled out of the Ashes with a stress fracture to his right elbow as England announced their Test squad to face Ireland next month.

The 28-year-old Sussex quick, who was recently in action in the Indian Premier League, will not play again “for the rest of the summer”, the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.

 

“Recent scans revealed he has sustained a recurrence of a stress fracture to his right elbow,” the ECB said. “He will now spend time with the England and Sussex medical teams, who will work on his injury management.”
