Jofra Archer may miss second Test against New Zealand

Jofra Archer is uncertain to participate in the second Test for England against New Zealand on June 17, following his absence from the first Test. Archer, who recently completed his IPL season with Rajasthan Royals, is currently in Barbados and has not returned to England. England head coach Brendon McCullum stated a need to assess Archer's condition upon his return. Archer's absence is significant, leaving England without their leading fast bowler as they look to recover from a disappointing Ashes campaign against Australia. England are also missing Brydon Carse due to a broken wrist incurred during the IPL.
