No Jofra Archer for West Indies ODIs

“England Men’s and Sussex pace bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the Metro Bank ODI series against the West Indies due to a right thumb injury. He will be reassessed by the England medical team over the next fortnight to determine when he may return to action,” a statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said.

No Archer in India Tests?

It is important to note that Jofra Archer was part of the RR squad in IPL 2025, and had played 12 matches for the team in the season, bagging only 11 wickets. However, he did not come back to India, after the tournament resumed on May 17. Eventually, his team finished with 4 wins in 14 matches.

Meanwhile, this could be a big problem for the English management, with the India series just around the corner, which is scheduled to begin on June 20. Archer had last played in Tests for England in 2021 and would be itching to make a comeback.
