The Sussex quick is being eased back into action having struggled with stress fractures in his elbow.

His last Test for England was more than three years ago in February 2021, but he has since represented England in white-ball cricket, with his last outing coming in a T20 against Bangladesh last year.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Key confirmed that Archer will not play a part in England바카라�s red-ball summer, when Ben Stokes바카라� side have Tests against the West Indies and Sri Lanka.

바카라�The whole plan with Jofra is he바카라�s going to play white-ball cricket for this summer and going into the winter,바카라� Key told Sky Sports.

바카라�Then hopefully next summer, when we play India and then onto the Ashes, we get him back for Test cricket.

바카라�It바카라�s a slow process to get him back for all forms.바카라�

Although Archer will not be involved in Test cricket for England, the aim is that he can be fit for this year바카라�s T20 World Cup taking place in the West Indies and the United States.

Key is also hopeful the fast bowler can be involved in the T20 series against Pakistan in May.

바카라�Jofra has been out with Sussex in India for pre-season and bowled quickly out there, he bowled really well,바카라� Key added.

바카라�He has now gone back to the Caribbean where he바카라�s going to play a bit of club cricket, all about getting himself ready for that T20 World Cup.

바카라�He바카라�ll hopefully play the Pakistan series, but it바카라�s always fingers-crossed at the moment with Jofra.

바카라�What we바카라�re going to do is take it slower (rather) than trying to go too quickly so that we get him back for not just a short period but we get him for a long period."
