England pacer Jofra Archer was fined an undisclosed amount and received an official warning from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for his breach of the team's bio-secure protocols following the First Test at Southampton, when he visited his Brighton home before arriving at Old Trafford to join his teammates.

England made the decision to drop Archer from the squad, hours before the start of the Second Test and sent the fast bowler into isolation on the condition that he will only be allowed to rejoin the squad if he tests negative for COVID-19 twice inside five days.

"Following a disciplinary hearing held on Friday evening, 17 July, England cricketer Jofra Archer has been fined an undisclosed amount and received an official written warning after admitting to breaching the team’s bio-secure protocols on Monday 13 July when he made an unauthorised visit to his home in Hove," said the ECB in a statement on Saturday (July 18).

The statement added, "Archer was withdrawn from England’s second Test squad against West Indies at Emirates Old Trafford and is commencing five days of isolation at the venue. He will undergo two COVID-19 tests in this period, which have to test negative before his self-isolation period is lifted. He is due to rejoin the rest of the squad on Tuesday 21 July."
