IPL news: Jofra Archer injury and Ben Stokes injury

Rajasthan Royal fans will be disappointed to know that their star pacer Jofra Archer has faced yet another setback. Previously, the English star pacer was forced to remain out of action for a considerable amount of time due to an elbow injury and a subsequent hand injury, which forced him also to skip the 14th edition of the IPL. The latest Jofra Archer injury update seems another serious one as the 26-year old may need to undergo surgery for his right elbow.

As a result, he has also been ruled out of the England vs New Zealand Test series. The 26-year old could also be in doubt for the subsequent series against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India if he does indeed require surgery. Surgery will require him to undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation routine before returning to competitive cricket.

The Jofra Archer injury blow is a major blow for England's squad as all-rounder Ben Stokes is also expected to miss a number of matches because of a broken finger. The Ben Stokes injury took place while the all-rounder was taking a catch in an IPL 2021 match. Meanwhile, there is no IPL news as to when the marquee tournament will be rescheduled.
