With four games left in the group round of the competition, Archer, who was replaced by Chris Jordan in Mumbai, will continue to have his health and rehabilitation monitored by the ECB.
According to a statement from the ECB, “Archer has been recovering from right elbow surgery.” But it has been difficult to play through the ache recently in the hopes that it will go away. In order to offer him the best chance for a full recovery, it has been decided that he will return to the UK for a period of rest and therapy.
