England pace bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out until next summer after the 26-year-old Barbadian-born cricketer underwent a second surgery on his injured right elbow here recently.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) issued a statement on Wednesday, saying that the medical procedure had “addressed the long-standing stress fracture of his right elbow”.

The second surgery means that Archer will not be in the IPL 2022 mega auction scheduled in January. He along with England all-rounder Ben Stokes had missed the Dubai leg of IPL 2021 for Rajasthan Royals. The Royals had earlier this month decided to let go of both the players ahead of the auction.
