No need to rush Archer back to Tests – Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has advised against rushing Jofra Archer back to Test cricket following his recent elbow surgery.

Archer, who had surgery on his right elbow to remove a bone fragment, is expected to be out for another three months. Vaughan believes that it is important not to rush his recovery as it could have long-term implications on his career.

“I think it’s really important that there isn’t a rush to get Jofra back into this Test side,” Vaughan said in an interview.

Archer has been a key player for England in all formats of the game, but Vaughan believes that it is important to focus on his long-term fitness and career rather than rushing him back into action.

“I think they have to be cautious with Jofra. He’s a tremendous talent and an X-factor player for England, so they need to ensure he is fully fit and ready to go before bringing him back into the team,” Vaughan added.

Archer’s recovery will be closely monitored by the England team management, and they will take a cautious approach to ensure he is fully fit before returning to international cricket.

With Archer’s absence, England will need to find a way to fill the void left by the talented fast bowler in their bowling attack.

However, Vaughan believes that it is better to have Archer fully fit and firing on all cylinders rather than risking his long-term fitness by rushing him back into the team.

“I think England have enough depth in their squad to manage without Archer for now. It’s better to have him fully fit and ready to return at his best rather than rushing him back into action,” Vaughan said.

Archer’s recovery and return to international cricket will be closely watched by cricket fans and experts alike as he looks to make a successful comeback from his injury.
