New Delhi: In a massive boost for England cricket team, star pacer Jofra Archer has returned and will be part of the T20 World Cup 2024 beginning on June 2. The ECB announced the squad, to be led by Jos Buttler, on Tuesday with fit-again Archer the most-awaited and notable inclusion in the list.

Archer last played an international match for England in January 2023 and since has been on the sidelines due to the recurrence of his stress fracture and elbow injury. The star pacer had to even pull out of the IPL due to the injury which has kept him away from the cricketing action for a while.

Rookie all-rounder Tom Hartley has managed to make a cut in the squad for the showpiece event while Moeen Ali (vice-captain), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook and Sam Curran area also part of the squad. Liam Livingstone will provide fire to the lower order while Rashid will spearhead the spin attack along with Tom Hartley.

Mark Wood, Reece Topley, Phil Salt and Adil Rashid have also earned the ticket to the West Indies and the US. The same squad will take part in the T20 series against Pakistan beginning on May 22. This means all the players who are currently busy with the Indian Premier League (IPL) will miss the final stages of the cash-rich league and travel back home for the Pakistan series, which will be a prep-up for the showpiece event.

Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali (vc), Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark Wood.
