Jofra Archer to miss England's one-day series against India and the start of the Indian Premier League as he is sent home for assessment on elbow injury

Jofra Archer has been ruled out of England's one-day series against India and will also miss the start of the Indian Premier League due to his ongoing elbow injury.

Archer has just completed five Twenty20 appearances for England in the space of nine days, bowling his maximum allocation of 20 overs, but has been managing a painful right elbow throughout.

He missed two of the four Tests against India as a result of the same issue and is being sent back home for further assessment.
