India Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals on Sunday (March 21) suffered an enormous setback as England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that Jofra Archer will miss the start of IPL 2021, which is about to start from April 9.
Notably, ECB on Sunday named a 14-player squad for the three-match ODI collection towards India in Pune and so they neglected Archer, who’s returning to the UK for additional administration and investigation of his proper elbow harm.
“Archer’s elbow issue has deteriorated over the course of the five-match T20I series and made it increasingly challenging for him to maintain performance levels. He has been deemed unfit for selection for the ODI series that features matches on 23, 26 and March 28,” ECB mentioned in an announcement.
“The ECB medical team will assess the player and, together with Jofra, develop a treatment plan and a return-to-play schedule in due course. As a consequence, Jofra will miss the start of this year’s Indian Premier League,” the assertion added.
It is price noticing that Archer was the very best wicket-taker for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020 with 20 wickets in 14 matches. Overall, he was the seventh highest wicket-taker in IPL 2020. Hence, it goes with out saying that RR will bemoan the pacer’s absence.
