Jofra Archer's Workload: What's the Plan?
Archer's Injury History
Jofra Archer has had a much-publicized injury history. Since making his international debut in 2019, Archer has suffered from a number of injuries that have limited his availability for England. These injuries have included a stress fracture of the back, a side strain, and an elbow injury.As a result of his injury history, there have been concerns about Archer's ability to stay fit and healthy. These concerns have been compounded by the fact that Archer is a fast bowler, and fast bowlers are generally more susceptible to injuries than other types of bowlers.
Interim England Coach's Comments
In light of Archer's injury history, it was interesting to hear the comments of interim England white-ball coach Marcus Trescothick on Archer's workload. Trescothick said that he knows the plan for Archer's workload, but he did not provide any details about what that plan is.Trescothick's comments have led to speculation about what the plan for Archer's workload might be. Some believe that Archer will be carefully managed in order to avoid putting too much strain on his body. Others believe that Archer will be allowed to bowl as much as he wants in order to get him back to full fitness as quickly as possible.
ECB's Approach to Fast Bowlers
It is likely that the ECB will take a cautious approach to Archer's workload. The ECB has a history of being careful with its fast bowlers, and it is unlikely that they will want to risk Archer's long-term health by overusing him.However, it is also important to note that Archer is a world-class bowler, and the ECB will want to have him available for as many matches as possible. It is therefore likely that the ECB will strike a balance between protecting Archer's health and getting him back to full fitness as quickly as possible.
