Jofra Archer dropped by England after breach of biosecurity protocols 

                                                | read time 2 mins

Jofra Archer has been left out of the England side for the second Test against West Indies at Emirates Old Trafford following a breach of the team's biosecurity protocols.


Archer was included in England's 13-man squad on Wednesday, but the ECB released a statement at 8am on the morning of the Test saying that he had been "excluded" and would enter self-isolation.

The statement said that Archer would be required to undergo five days of self-isolation, during which he will twice be tested for Covid-19. After two negative results, he would be permitted to return to the group.

"I am extremely sorry for what I have done," Archer said. "I have put not only myself, but the whole team and management in danger. I fully accept the consequences of my actions, and I want to sincerely apologise to everyone in the bio-secure bubble.

"It deeply pains me to be missing the Test match, especially with the series poised. I feel like I have let both teams down, and again I am sorry."

England have not added anyone to their squad. That means that their only selection decision is which of Sam Curran, Ollie Robinson and Chris Woakes to leave out.


So Jofra Archer becomes the first victim of breaching the rules set in view of Covid-19 and now will not play the second test match between England and West Indies.
