England Hopeful Jofra Archer Will Play Second Test Against New Zealand
England head coach Brendon McCullum expressed hope that fast bowler Jofra Archer will be available for the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval after missing the first due to a post-IPL break. Archer has been following a fitness plan in Barbados, and the team will decide on the playing combination based on conditions and his readiness. England's pace attack performed strongly in the first Test, which they won by 115 runs, but Archer's inclusion is not guaranteed despite his past performances.
