England’s star pacer Jofra Archer, who has missed Mumbai Indians’ last four matches due to an elbow injury, is still unsure about his return to the Mumbai squad. The 28-year-old fast-bowling sensation made his debut for Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2023 clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy earlier this month.
“Obviously the last two weeks aren’t exactly what you would hope for after being so fully active. But it’s what you expect when you’ve been off for a long time: the body’s not going to be 100 per cent straight away. There are going to be moments when it feels a lot more serious than it actually is. I don’t know which game will be the next game, but I’m just trying to put myself in the best position possible [to play],” said in a conversation with Cricinfo.
“To be honest, I still want to bowl fast and stuff – but when you feel good, you bowl good. I just want to focus on feeling good at the minute. It’s a great franchise and hopefully, I get the opportunity to win a few games for them. We’ve won more games than we’ve lost which is miles better than what we did last year, so everything is going well and the mood in the camp is good”, the pacer further added.
