The Indian team, which has reached Birmingham against England, is preparing fiercely in the practice session. Team India would like to make a strong comeback at Edgbaston by losing the Leeds Test. Jofra Archer was included in the England team for the second Test. However, a big update has come out on whether he will play Edgbaston Test or not.
Rob, managing director of England and Wales Cricket Board, recently spoke on the possibility of Jofra Archer playing in the Birmingham Test. Archer has been included in the England team. He has recently made a comeback to first class cricket by playing for Sussex in the county championship. Archer returned to the Test team after four years, he last played against India in 2021.
Recently, Rob Ki was asked if these fast bowlers are sufficiently fit to play the second Test against India. The ECB managing director said that he could play at least one of the next two Tests. However, he also did not rule out the possibility of putting the first ball in Birmingham.
However, Rob told Sky Sports that, I think he would play at least one of the next two Tests. Who knows? He can throw the first ball of Edgbaston Test. All options are available. Rob has also revealed that if the team management feels that Archer is not yet ready for Test cricket, he can go back and play the last two matches for Sussex.
