Mumbai: In yet another blow to the Mumbai Indians side, pacer Jofra Archer has been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.
Mumbai Indians announced that Archer will return home to focus on his rehabilitation. The side further announced Chris Jordan as his replacement.
Currently, placed on the eight position, MI has won five out of 10 matches in the current season.
ECB released a statement shortly thereafter giving more details about Archer’s recovery from the right elbow surgery.
Archer, according to the ECB, tried to push through the discomfort while playing in the IPL, but they have now decided to call him back home for rehab with the ECB medical department and Sussex County, “to give him the best opportunity for a full recovery”.
Archer had an underwhelming IPL season with Mumbai Indians this year as he struggled to find his rhythm due to fitness issues. He played only five of the 10 games this season, returning only two wickets at an economy rate of 9.50.
