Archer's elbow issue has deteriorated over the course of the T20I series and made it increasingly challenging for him to maintain performance levels. He has been deemed unfit for selection for the ODI series.

Also, it was confirmed that Jofra will miss the start of this year’s Indian Premier League. The ECB medical team will assess the player and, together with Jofra, develop a treatment plan and a return-to-play schedule in due course.
