The board also confirmed the Rajasthan Royals star will miss the start of IPL 2021 as the medical team will assess the player, develop a treatment plan and a return-to-play schedule in due course. England head coach Chris Silverwood said that it was a ‘joint decision’ made by both parties and talked about the importance of getting to the bottom of Archer’s injury and get him fit and fine as soon as possible.
