IPL 2023 / Jofra Archer returns to england team after 22 months IPL 2023 Mumbai Indians team squad

IPL 2023 Mumbai Indians: Last year's season has been very bad for Mumbai Indians, the most successful team of IPL, so this time Mumbai can be seen betting on many new players in the auction. But before this auction, a big good news is coming out for Mumbai Indians. A deadly fast bowler of his team is going to return to the field after 22 months. This player could not be a part of the team due to injury in the last season.

This deadly bowler will play in IPL 2023

Before IPL 2023, Mumbai Indians' deadly fast bowler Joffra Archer is going to return to international cricket after 22 months. The England Cricket Board has included Jofra Archer in the 14-member squad for the ODI series against South Africa next month. Jofra Archer could not play for England since March 2021 due to injury and did not become a part of IPL 2022 as well.

Mumbai Indians had made a big bid

27-year-old fast bowler Jofra Archer was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 8 crore in the mega auction held last year. Mumbai did not release Joffra Archer even for IPL 2023 (England), so he will now be seen playing for Mumbai Indians in the next season. Jasprit Bumrah is already present in Mumbai and now a player like Archer will become his bowling partner.

England made world champion

In the year 2019, Jofra Archer played an important role in making England the world champion. He took the maximum 20 wickets for England in the tournament. At the same time, Archer has taken 46 wickets in 35 matches in IPL. He took 15 wickets in the 2018 IPL playing for the Rajasthan Royals for the first time.
