No need to rush Archer back to Tests – Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has urged the selectors not to rush Jofra Archer back into the Test team too soon.

Archer has been recovering from an elbow injury and has recently returned to county cricket with Sussex.

Vaughan believes that Archer should be given the necessary time to regain full fitness before being brought back into the Test side.

“It’s important not to put too much pressure on Archer to come back too soon,” Vaughan said in a recent interview.

Archer has been a key player for England in recent years, but his fitness has been a concern with various injuries cropping up.

“He is a special talent and we need to ensure that he is fully fit before throwing him back into Test cricket,” Vaughan added.

Archer’s pace and ability to bowl yorkers have made him a valuable asset for England and the team will be hoping to have him back at full strength soon.

However, Vaughan’s words of caution come as a reminder that rushing Archer back could potentially worsen his injury and impact his long-term career.

Therefore, it is important for the selectors to take a cautious approach with Archer and prioritize his long-term fitness over short-term gain.
