Jofra Archer named in England 's 14 -man squad for second Test against India .

Archer has not played a Test since May 2021 after a series of injuries.

The 30-year-old made his international debut in 2019 and took 22 wickets at 20.27 across four Tests in that series.

He bowled the deciding super over at the World Cup and later that summer bowled an electric spell of short bowling to Steve Smith in the Ashes.

The excitement around Archer , even before he made his England debut, was immense.

His exploits in the 2019 World Cup and Ashes that followed more than lived up to the hype.

Archer was ruled out of the home Ashes series in 2023 , a Test return seemed impossible.

Few would have blamed him for walking away to become a franchise freelancer.
