Archer ruled out of New Zealand series

LONDON: England pacer Jofra Archer, who recently returned to action after missing IPL, has been ruled out of the Test series against New Zealand as his elbow injury has resurfaced. The 26-year-old played a game for Sussex against Kent but had to be pulled out after bowling just five overs. Archer had declared himself fit for the Test series against New Zealand, starting June 2 in London, but the pain in his elbow scuttled his and ECB’S plan.
