DOHA (Qatar): England fast bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of ODI series against India, the England and Wales Cricket Board statement said on Sunday.
Archer will also miss the start of the Indian Premier League due to an ongoing elbow injury.
“Jofra Archer is returning to the UK for further management and investigation of his right elbow injury,” said an ECB statement.
The fast bowler played in all five matches of the recently concluded Twenty20 series in India, which the hosts won 3-2.
He bowled his maximum allocation of 20 overs but was all the while nursing a painful right elbow.
The Sussex quick missed two of the four Tests against India earlier in the tour because of the same elbow problem and is being sent home for further medical assessment.
That means he will miss the three ODI matches in Pune, with his arrival at Rajasthan Royals for the latest IPL delayed.
