England head coach Chris Silverwood said on Sunday that fast bowler Joffra Archer loved to keep the national team ahead and leave for the UK to get himself fit. Archer was considered unfit for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, as Silverwood remarked. The fast bowler has also been dropped from the early stages of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. “It was a joint decision and they first put England in place. They need to get this right and they need some time to do it.” We give him the best chance to succeed for England and all parties have agreed on that front. Joffra was also keen that way. She wants to be in the T20 World Cup and the Ashes, it was not a difficult decision. It was a sensible decision, ”Silverwood told UK media at a virtual press conference on Sunday.
He said, “It’s very satisfying. It shows how passionate Joffra is to play for England and how much he enjoys playing for England. We respect that, we have to be around him Have fun, we’ll do whatever we can to help. “
Archer is returning to the UK for further management and investigation of his right elbow injury. During the five-match T20 series, Archer’s elbow issue has deteriorated and it has become challenging for him to maintain his level of performance. The ECB medical team will now assess the player and together with Jofra will develop a treatment plan and a schedule of return at the appointed time. As a result, Jofra will remember the start of this year’s IPL.
