Jofra Archer Plays for Barbados Club Without England's Consent

Archer's surprise appearance raises questions about his recovery from a recurring elbow injury.

Jofra Archer, England's fast bowler, played for his old school team Foundation in Barbados without the knowledge of England's managing director, Rob Key.
Archer, who has been recovering from a recurring elbow injury, took 4-18 for Foundation against Lords in a three-day match.
Archer has not played for England since March due to his elbow problems and has only played seven one-day matches since March 2021.
Despite Archer's eagerness to participate in the Indian Premier League auction, England has decided to monitor his rehabilitation themselves.
Archer returned to the UK on Sunday night and is not expected to play any further part in the ongoing match in Barbados.
