Jofra Arch, the elite pacer, had a stress fracture during the 2023 Indian Premier League, forcing him out of play since April. In order to be ready for the Ashes in 2023, or if not, before the ODI World Cup, he took a sabbatical and came back to England in the middle of the competition. But it took him longer than that, since the 28-year-old hasn’t fully recovered from his injury. The cricketer was recently observed bowling for his former school team in Barbados, which is fascinating because England management is not in a rush and has been careful with his recuperation.
Jofra Archer participated in a game between Foundation and Lord’s. On the official Barbados Cricket website, he was credited with four wickets at an economical cost of just eighteen runs. He had a standout performance because of his speed and left-arm spin bowling. Since Archer is now expected to adhere to a rigid regimen for his rehabilitation program, the team management was unaware of his actions in the meantime.
Rob Key, the director of cricket, stated that he will gather more information before commenting publicly after learning about the event. But he also said that they are not rushing to meet any deadlines and are taking things slowly with Archer. The former cricket player said they are taking lessons from the past and would allow the pacer enough time to heal.
When questioned about Jofra Archer involvement in a cricket match, Rob Key responded, “I’m not aware of that; I’ll find out,” as reported by India Today.
We don’t want to set him any kind of timetable, so we’re simply going to go slowly with him. We’ve done it before, and we’re attempting to draw lessons from it. Even if it takes an additional few months, he will still be able to fully recover and enjoy a few more years in his career. Rob Key went on, “He’s worth his weight in gold.”
