An injured Jofra Archer was on Sunday omitted from a 14-member England squad for the three-match One-Day International series against India starting in Pune on Tuesday.

England captain Eoin Morgan on Saturday had said that Archer was likely to pull out of the ODI series and the ensuing IPL as the star pacer’s elbow injury has worsened.

A statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board said that “Archer is returning to the UK for further management and investigation of his right elbow injury. He has been deemed unfit for selection for the ODI series that features matches on 23, 26 and 28 March.”
