Playing T20 World Cup but not Tests - England fast bowler ruled out of action in red-ball cricket until 2025

India TV News  

James Anderson last week confirmed that the first Test of the upcoming home summer will be the last of his 21-year long career. Jofra Archer could've been one of them but he is set to not play Tests until 2025 despite being picked in the T20 World Cup squad. Archer last played international cricket in March 2023 but when it comes to Tests, his last appearance goes back to February 2021 against India in Ahmedabad. ECB Managing Director Rob Key has confirmed that the board is eyeing for him to play in Tests next summer against India and then in the Ashes. Then hopefully next summer when we play India then the Ashes we get him back for Test cricket," Key told Sky Sports last month.
