England<\/a> has called fast bowler Jofra Archer<\/a> home from India in the hope he can be fit for the Ashes.<\/p>\n

\ufeffArcher, 28, will leave his Indian Premier League<\/a> club Mumbai and fly home to the UK this week to rehabilitate an elbow issue.<\/p>\n

He had surgery last month and tried to play through the pain<\/a>, but the England and Wales Cricket Board is not taking a chance on the potential Ashes talisman.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffArcher has been recovering from right elbow surgery. However, pushing through the discomfort whilst recently playing, hoping it will settle, has proven challenging," the ECB said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

"Therefore, it has been agreed for him to return to the UK for a period of rest and rehabilitation to give him the best opportunity for a full recovery."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Archer is a fearsome fast\ufeff bowler but has played only 13 Tests for England since making his debut in the 2019 Ashes.<\/p>\n

That series he wreaked havoc on the Aussie batters, taking 22 wickets in four matches at an impressive average of 20.27.<\/p>\n

\ufeffHe took a devastating 6-45 in the first innings in Leeds, and two more wickets in the second innings, to help England to victory.<\/p>\n

In the second Test at Lord's – Archer's debut\ufeff in the format – he was responsible for concussing superstar batter Steve Smith, who was replaced by substitute Marnus Labuschagne.<\/p>\n

Archer has battled various injuries in recent years and did not make the trip Down Under for the disastrous 2021-22 series.<\/p>\n

But if he overcomes the latest elbow issue, he could help form a daunting attack also featuring Stuart Broad, James Anderson, and Ollie Robinson.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe 2023 Ashes series begins on June 16.<\/p>\n
