England speedster Jofra Archer, who has recently undergone surgery on his right elbow, revealed that he is looking forward to returning to action in the upcoming T20 World Cup as well as the Ashes later this year. However, in his column with the Daily Mail, he has said that he wants to take some time to get back in action as he doesn’t want to take any risk regarding his injury in the future.
Archer wrote: “I am determined about post-elbow operation is not to rush my comeback because my primary focus is to be playing for England in the Twenty20 World Cup and Ashes later this year.”
“Those are my targets. If I come back before then and manage to play in the home Test series against India — then fine, so be it. If I don’t, I am quite prepared to sit out the summer. The way I am looking at things is that I would rather miss a few weeks of a year so that I have a few more years in my career,” he again shared.

The pacer had the surgery last week and his recovery will take time and it is reviewed by his consultant in four weeks as well and then the call will be taken when Jofra Archer can start bowling again as well. However, the speedster is one of the key bowlers for his side across formats.

“I just want to get this injury sorted once and for all, and that’s why I’m not looking that far ahead or at dates for a return to action — because if I don’t get this right, I won’t play any cricket. Period,” he said.“Surgery was always the last option, and we wanted to exercise every possible strategy before we went down that route. It was the last thing on the list. It is not always a fix, and in four weeks, we will find out how things have gone,” Jofra Archer stated again.
