What happened to Jofra Archer?

Jofra Archer has been sidelined for more than a year and a half after suffering elbow problems that required him to undergo two surgeries. His troubles did not end there as he also faced another setback after that. In May of last year, he was unable to return to action as originally planned because he also suffered a stress fracture.

He only joined the England squad for training in November and made nine overs against the senior team. With Archer also set to return to the international side later in January against South Africa, he will be hoping to impress in the upcoming SA T20 league.
