England prioritise workload management as Archer prepares for ODI comeback

Jofra Archer set to return to England's ODI side

England are set to prioritise workload management as Jofra Archer prepares to make his ODI comeback. The fast bowler has been out of action since July 2021 due to a stress fracture in his elbow, but he is now nearing a return to full fitness.

Archer is expected to play in England's ODI series against South Africa in July, and he could also be available for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. However, England are keen to manage his workload carefully, given his history of injuries.

England's ODI schedule

England have a busy ODI schedule in the coming months, with series against South Africa, India, and Australia all on the horizon. Archer is likely to be a key part of England's plans for the World Cup, but the team will be mindful of not overusing him.

"We've got to be careful with Jofra," said England white-ball captain Jos Buttler. "He's a world-class bowler, but we don't want to push him too hard too soon. We've got a lot of cricket coming up, and we want him to be fit and firing for the World Cup."

Archer's injury history

Archer has a history of injuries, and he has been managed carefully by England in the past. In 2020, he suffered a side strain that ruled him out of England's Test series against Pakistan. He also missed the 2021 T20 World Cup due to the elbow injury.

England are determined to avoid any further setbacks with Archer, and they will be monitoring his workload closely. The team will also be looking to use him in a variety of roles, in order to reduce the risk of injury.

Archer's return to the England team

Archer's return to the England team will be a major boost for the side. He is one of the most exciting fast bowlers in the world, and he has the ability to win matches on his own.

Archer is also a key part of England's plans for the 2023 ODI World Cup. The team will be hoping that he can stay fit and firing throughout the tournament, and help England to lift the trophy.
