Archer added to England squad for second test against India
- England has included pace bowler Jofra Archer in their lineup for the upcoming second Test versus India at Edgbaston, scheduled to begin on July 2, 2025.
- Archer last played Test cricket in February 2021 against India in Ahmedabad after a career disrupted by multiple injuries, including elbow operations and a back stress fracture.
- He recently marked his red-ball comeback for Sussex against Durham from June 22 to 25, bowling 18 overs and taking one wicket for 32 runs without any complaints.
- Archer, who has claimed 42 wickets across 13 Test matches, is the sole addition to an otherwise unchanged England squad following their narrow victory by five wickets in the opening match of the series at Headingley.
- His selection reflects England's cautious management following past injury setbacks, and he is expected to replace Brydon Carse to strengthen the bowling attack for the series.
