NEW DELHI: Jofra Archer , the talented England fast bowler, is set to make his return to one-day international cricket after a lengthy absence of 18 months.
The announcement was made by Harry Brook , who is currently serving as the stand-in captain for the England team. Archer's comeback match will be against Australia at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
The 29-year-old pacer has been carefully reintegrated into the England squad this year, starting with his participation in the T20 World Cup , reported Reuters.
This gradual return to international cricket comes after Archer's successful recovery from persistent elbow and back injuries that had kept him away from the game for an extended period.
Having already featured in the first T20 international against Australia earlier this month, Archer is now considered fully prepared to take on the challenges of the longer format.
His inclusion in the ODI squad is a testament to his progress and the confidence the team management has in his abilities to perform at the highest level once again.
"He's obviously a world-beater, and it'll be nice to have him alongside me and going out there and taking them on," Brook told BBC Sport.
"He's our strongest seamer and he's got a lot of experience behind him in white-ball as well. I'm looking forward to working with him and seeing him operate again."
Archer's career has been marred by a series of injuries, limiting his participation in ODIs to just seven matches since his instrumental role in England's triumphant 2019 World Cup campaign on home soil. The fast bowler's most recent test outing was during the tour of India in the early part of 2021.
In the absence of Jos Buttler , England's regular white-ball captain, who has been sidelined for the entire five-match series due to a calf injury, the responsibility of leading the side has fallen on the shoulders of Yorkshire's right-handed batsman, Brook.
