Fast bowler Jofra Archer returns to England's squad for the T20 World Cup in June after more than a year out with injuries.
Jofra Archer has been called back to the England squad for the T20 World Cup, marking his return from a lingering elbow injury. The 29-year-old fast bowler last played for England in 2023. Another fast bowler, Chris Jordan, has also been included in the squad, but World Cup-winning bowler Chris Woakes has not made the cut. In a surprising move, uncapped left-arm spinner Tom Hartley has been named in the 15-man provisional squad, with Jos Buttler leading as captain.
