Pace sensation Jofra Archer has been tested negative for coronavirus which makes him eligible to join the squad for the third test against the West Indies. Archer was removed from the squad last week on the eve of the second test after he breached the bio-secure rules with an unauthorized trip to his home in Hove.He was placed in five days of isolation at Old Trafford’s on-site hotel, allowed out only for carefully controlled solitary fitness work.
Having come into contact with an unnamed individual during his detour between Southampton and Manchester, Archer needed to test negative twice before being allowed to return to the playing group. His availability gives England a full set of six seamers to choose from for the series decider starting on Friday in Manchester. Currently the series stands at 1-1 after England defeated West Indies by 113 runs on Monday.
