London: England fast bowler Jofra Archer is set to undergo surgery on his troublesome right elbow on Friday, the country’s cricket board (ECB) said.
Jofra Archer was ruled out of the 2-Test series against New Zealand in June due to pain in his right elbow. Archer has been managing his elbow issue for quite some time. The England pacer played the Test series against India in February with the niggle in his elbow.
This is the second time Archer is undergoing surgery this year as he needed surgery in March to remove a glass fragment from a tendon in his right hand, an injury he sustained in January when an attempt to clean his fish tank went wrong. Archer was ruled out of IPL 2021 which was suspended in May.
Jofra has been reviewed by a medical consultant in respect of his right elbow soreness.
