England pacer Jofra Archer ruled out of 2-Test series vs New Zealand due to elbow injury

The England and Wales Cricket Board on Sunday confirmed that pacer Jofra Archer has been ruled out of a 2-Test series against New Zealand due to pain in his elbow. Archer was getting treatment for a long-term elbow injury before heading to India to play a 4-Test series. Archer, who was ruled out of the now-suspended Indian Premier League 2021, had surgery in March to remove a glass fragment from a tendon on his right hand, an injury he sustained in January when an attempt to clean his fish tank went wrong. Archer returned to action for County Championship side Sussex against Kent this week at Hove but only bowled five overs in Kent's second innings due to pain in his right elbow.
