Ashes 2023: Jofra Archer Is On Course For The World Cup – Paul Farbrace Provides Massive Update On England Speedster’s Return

Former Assistant Coach of England Paul Farbrace revealed that England speedster Jofra Archer is well on course to return to the national team for the ODI World Cup later this year in India. The 28-year-old had not played for England in almost two years before making a comeback for the team in South Africa earlier this year.

After suffering elbow and back problems, Archer missed 17 months of action before making his comeback to international cricket in January as his return was short having injured himself during the IPL 2023. The Right-arm pacer is currently undergoing rehabilitation with the England and Sussex medical teams.

Speaking on BBC Radio live, Paul Farbrace said that Jofra Archer is recovering well from the injury and is well on the course to return to the England team for the ODI World Cup later this year and his return to the team would be a massive boost for the defending champions coming into the mega event later this year.

“He is going well, I think he is on course for the World Cup, which is fantastic news,” Paul Farbrace said.

The 28-year-old has played only 5 games for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023 and could not make an impact for the team. With frequently prone to injuries, Archer won’t take part in any of the Ashes matches against Australia in the home country. However, there is still a chance that he will be able to participate in England’s 50-over World Cup title defence in India.

Paul Farbrace said that the England speedster has been going nicely in his recovery process on return to England and believes that team management needs to look after him to keep him for the Ashes series in 2025 in Australia.
