I'm Pretty Sure Archer Is Keen To Play Test Cricket: McCullum
T20 World Cup: England head coach Brendon McCullum said pacer Jofra Archer is keen to play Test cricket for the country in the upcoming season. The 29-year-old has struggled with a recurring stress fracture in his elbow and a back stress fracture since his last Test appearance in 2021.
Having taken 42 Test wickets since debuting in the 2019 Ashes, he returned to international cricket in March 2023 during England's ODI series against Bangladesh but experienced elbow discomfort, sidelining him from international action until May 2024.
"We've got to make sure we're always doing the right thing by Jof and understanding the risks involved but I'm pretty sure he's pretty keen to play Test cricket," said McCullum.
