According to Media Sources, Jofra Archer has been named in England’s playing XI for the third Test against India at Lord’s, replacing Josh Tongue in the only change from the previous match, according to the official website of England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Wednesday. Archer, 30, returns to the Test setup for the first time since February 2021. Known for his express pace, Archer’s inclusion is expected to bolster England’s relatively inexperienced bowling attack, which has lacked bite in patches during the ongoing series. Recently, he made a red-ball return at first-class level for Sussex prior to joining up with the England squad for the second Test against India in Birmingham.

As Per Media Sources, The five-match series is currently tied 1-1, after India bounced back in emphatic fashion with a massive 336-run win at Edgbaston. The third Test is set to begin on Thursday at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. England’s selectors have opted for stability, making just one change to the side that featured in Birmingham. Archer comes in for Jos Tongue, with captain Ben Stokes continuing to lead the charge alongside senior players Joe Root and Chris Woakes. Wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith retains his place in the XI, while young off-spinner Shoaib Bashir continues to get opportunities as part of England’s spin strategy.
