Xtra Time Web Desk: The Indian test cricketers are currently enjoying their time with families during the break from bio bubble in London. But 72 miles away in Sussex an England fast bowler has started bowling in a bid to make himself available for the upcoming test series against India. Jofra Archer, who recently undergone a surgery on his right elbow has started bowling again. A fit Jofra Archer will definitely be a worrying factor for India during the upcoming test series. The 26 year old Archer has shared an instagram story of him bowling at the county ground in Hove.

It is still not sure whether the Barbados born England fast bowler will be fully fit for the India series or not. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) earlier has not specified any time-frame on his return to action.

 Archer had been undergoing an intensive rehabilitation period working with the ECB and Sussex medical teams. His progress was reviewed from time to time. A fit Jofra Archer will definitely add to the strength to the bowling attack of Joe Root and his team.

The elbow issue had been a recurring one for Archer, who has been trying to manage it over a year. It had led to him missing a number of matches on tours to South Africa in 2020 and India earlier this year. The decision to have surgery came after he aggravated the problem on his return to county cricket with Sussex after coming back from India
