Actually, a star player has once again joined his team before Edgbaston.
Edgbaston Test returned a day earlier
Before this big match, there has been a stir in the England team. Actually, his star fast bowler Jofra Archer has once again joined the team. Archer took part in the practice session with the England team in Edgbaston, but he will not participate in this Test match. Jofra Archer, who is known for his high speed and swing bowling, suddenly separated from the England Test team due to the family emergency. During this time, England announced their playing XI for the second Test, which does not include Archer's name.
Archer's presence has always been challenging for Indian batsmen. But he will not be seen playing in this match. However, he can get a chance in the upcoming Test matches. Let me tell you, Jofra Archer has not played any Test match for the England team for almost 4 years. He played his last Test match against India in the year 2021. In such a situation, he once again had a chance to return to the Test from Edgbaston Test. But at the moment their wait has increased.
Very important match for both teams
This Test series between India and England is very important for both teams for the World Test Championship (WTC). The first Test was exciting, where the two teams were seen trying to dominate each other and finally England won. That is, Team India will have to win the Edgbaston Test to open their account in the World Test Championship 2025-27. Otherwise his difficulties may increase further.
