Jofra Archer Back in the England Fold for Second T20I Against Pakistan
Archer to Make 44th International Appearance
T20I Set to Take Place at Edgbaston on Saturday Afternoon
Jofra Archer has been named in England's team for Saturday afternoon's T20I against Pakistan in Birmingham. It will be his 44th international match.
England face Pakistan in the second fixture of their T20 international series. The match at Edgbaston, Birmingham, England starts at 2:30 pm.
Archer, who has been out of action with a stress fracture of the back, will bolster an England attack that was outplayed by Pakistan in the first T20I on Thursday night.
The 25-year-old fast bowler is a key part of England's plans for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia and his return to fitness is a timely boost for the team.
England will be looking to level the series in Birmingham after losing the first match by five wickets. Pakistan, meanwhile, will be looking to seal the series with a victory.
The match is expected to be a close contest between two of the world's top T20I teams. England will be looking to Archer to make a significant impact on his return to the side.
