Fit-again pacer Jofra Archer expectedly returned after a one-year injury-forced hiatus, while rookie all-rounder Tom Hartley also made the cut in the 15-member preliminary T20 World Cup squad announced by defending champions England here on Tuesday.
Archer last played for England in a T20 International series against Bangladesh in March last year. "Jofra Archer has recovered from his right elbow injury and is named in the squad," said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in its media release.
England will be led by Jos Buttler, who had guided them to the title in Australia in 2022.
