Jofra Archer last played international cricket in 2021. After the T20 series against India in March of that year, this pacer did not enter the field again. There is only one reason for this, the elbow injury. Due to this Archer is unable to play for more than one and a half years. This time, however, he is waiting to return to the field. This English pacer himself informed me about his fitness.

Archer also underwent surgery to recover from the elbow injury. After recovering from there, he is likely to return to the field in December. Although played for Elber Sussex in the middle, he was injured again. After that returned with SAT20, South Africa’s franchise-based T20 league. This time, Archer said that he will return to England’s jersey.

Of course, Archer doesn’t want to think about the time he was out of the field. Rather, he wants to paint the stage of return. In an interview, the English pacer said, “There is no chance to look back at the time that has passed. I was out of the field for a long time. Now it is good to be back. It is important to perform now. I am 80 per cent fit now. Now just to get back into the rhythm of the field. I look forward to it.”

Returning to the field after an injury is naturally expected to lack confidence. But Archer said otherwise. If he is fit, everything will come in his favour, he said. Archer added, “I believe that once I get 100% fit, nothing can stop me. Just get the rhythm back. Then we’ll see. Hopefully, the fitness will be better soon.”

Meanwhile, England is waiting like a pilgrim for Archer’s return. Because this year the ODI World Cup will be held in India. With Archer’s presence in the event, the reigning world champions will look to field a full-strength team. However, Archer missed two T20 World Cups for England earlier. In one of which England clinched the title.
