The fast bowler has suffered a low grade stress fracture of the right elbow

England fast bowler Jofra Archer has been ruled out of England's Test tour of Sri Lanka and the Indian Premier League 2020 season.

Archer underwent further scans on his injured right elbow yesterday in the UK which confirmed a low grade stress fracture.

He will now commence an injury rehabilitation programme with the ECB medical team with a view to be ready for the international summer campaign starting in June against the West Indies in a three-match Test series.
