England Names Playing XI for 1st T20I Against India Without Jofra ArcherPreviousNext

England announced their playing XI for the first T20I against India on July 1, excluding pacer Jofra Archer. The England Cricket Board is managing Archer's workload due to his injury history, and he is not expected to participate in all matches of the series. Archer recently played two Tests against New Zealand, including the third Test which England lost. The rest of the lineup was named without Archer for the series opener.
