Jofra Archer is ready for his comeback in Test Cricket after being selected in the England XI for the 3rd test against India starting from Thursday, June 10, 2025.
The inclusion of Jofra Archer will provide a huge boost to the England bowling line-up for the next test match against India at the historical Lord's cricket ground, for the third test match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. He will replace the England fast bowler Josh Tongue. He will play Test cricket for England after February 2021. He only played 13 matches in red-ball format. He played his last Test match against India in early 2021.
The fast bowler made his red ball comeback in a recent county championship match for Sussex against Durham. Due to multiple injuries, he missed playing many International Test matches for the England cricket team.
After the 2nd Test of the 5-match Test series, with the balanced 1-1, Jofra is going to play a key role in strengthening England's fast bowling side in the upcoming Test matches.
After the 2 Test matches, the remaining matches will be played at Lord’s from July 10 to 14. July 23 to 27 at Old Trafford and July 31 to August 4 at the Oval in 2025. Archer is one of the top fast bowlers for England, known for his accurate fast bowling.
The 3rd test match between India and England is going to be a really exciting test match for both teams. Both teams will try their best to win the 3rd test match at Lord’s.
England Test XI For the 3rd Test- Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Poop, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (Captain), Jamie Smith (WK), Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir, Brydon Carse, Chris Woakes.
