Jofra Archer to miss IPL

Jofra Archer will not play in the 2021 Indian Premier League, the ECB has confirmed

Archer returned to bowling this week with higher intensity, and the ECB and Sussex medical teams will continue to monitor his progress.

Archer will now step up his training regime starting next week and will be in full training with Sussex. It is expected that he will return to cricket in the next fortnight if he can continue to bowl and prepare pain-free.

The ECB will confirm which matches he is expected to play in due course.
