IPL 2021: Rajasthan Royals pacer Jofra Archer to miss entire tournament, confirms ECB

Rajasthan Royals pacer Jofra Archer will miss the remainder of the 2021 Indian Premier League, England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed on Friday.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) fast bowler Jofra Archer will not participate in the ongoing 14th Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Friday. Notably, Archer returned to bowling this week with higher intensity, and the ECB and Sussex medical teams will continue to monitor his progress. Archer, 26, had earlier been ruled out of the early matches of the IPL due to an elbow injury "Archer will now step up his training regime starting next week and will be in full training with Sussex. It is expected that he will return to cricket in the next fortnight if he can continue to bowl and prepare pain-free," the ECB said in a statement.
