Fragment of glass found inside Archer’s finger during surgery: Giles
The Hindu
Giles said, “...through the T20 series (against India), that condition worsened and he couldn’t play without some form of pain relief.”
An accident while cleaning his fish tank was the cause of Jofra Archer’s hand injury that troubled him during the series against India. Apart from an elbow issue, a glass fragment was found lodged in the England pacer’s right middle finger that had to be operated. England’s director of cricket Ashley Giles made this revelation while giving an update on Archer, who underwent the surgery on Monday. The elbow problem has ruled him out of the initial part of this year’s IPL. “They (surgeons) have operated and I think they found a small fragment of glass still in attendance. It obviously healed but there was part of the fish tank still in his finger,” Giles said on BBC’s Tuffers and Vaughan show, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.More Related News
