Jofra Archer has been ruled out of England's tour to Sri Lanka, as well as this year's IPL; having been diagnosed with a stress fracture of his elbow.

They will surely get some overseas guy as replacement. Seeing the English contingent there, Mark Wood maybe.

England massa overbowled their Barbados servant so much that this elbow got messed up.  Why am I not surprised.

[LordPrabhzy]

This is what happens when you over work one bowler due to the rest of the lineup being toothless 

[Vilander]

elbow lol so the guy is made of stone elsewhere that he stresses his elbow when it extends because of the sling while delivering.

Spoken like a True liberal who is always concerned with the mistreatment of immigrants and minorities by the evil majority

The way they treated this guy was deplorable. They abused poor guy to the maximum limit.Will he ever be the same again.Bhuvi took a long time to recover from overuse in 2014 England tour .

Cue the nonsense personal attack from moroniac.  As predictable as Archer's injury.

 

Do you know how many overs England made Archer bowl?  And when he started showing signs of injury, his own team spread rumors of how he was not "motivated" enough.  Michael Holding called his injury almost a year ago, pointing out how overworked he was.

Damn, I was looking forward to him roughing up the old grandpa DS Moni, like he did last year. Damn.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

They can get Nortje or Wood. RR that is.

Archer is a T20 bowler at best, may be ODI's on a good day.

Archer is an outsider in so many ways in the narrow parish of elite English cricket. It isn’t simply the fact he grew up in Barbados, or is a rare black male cricketer to earn a full ECB contract. It’s also the fact he’s from another place as a sportsman, talked about as though he’s some bright-eyed creature found shivering in the treeline, the guy who wears his jumper around his waist, who doesn’t carry the familiar signifiers of this sealed sporting-industrial life.

Statements such as these should be seen in the context of both these layers of otherness: “He needs to ramp it up more ... The energy and effort have to be there all the time.” “We want every ball to be an effort ball.” “Your body hurts at times ... You’ve just got to choose to do it, really.” “Culturally he is different.”
 
The words, there, of England’s captain, head coach and director of cricket at various times this winter. Speaking, to be clear, about a bloke bowling through a stress fracture, while leading England’s attack in his first season of international cricket. All of these quotes are set in the middle of warm words about Archer’s performances, all couched with sympathetic talk about how much he is putting in. 

Plus we’ve had the standard klaxon-parping talk about body language, about unacceptable diet, about the need to really “bust a gut” in training. Nobody else gets this stuff. Nobody mentions Stuart Broad’s up-and-down intensity levels, the sense of a bowler (successfully and correctly) looking after himself. Nobody urges Joe Root himself to put “more effort” in or talks about mental fragility when he keeps getting out just past 50. Why not?

In Jofra's first test series, Holding called out the England team on live TV during commentary, describing how they are running a thoroughbred pace bowler into the ground.  England are shameless.  The unconscious prejudice is endemic.

it is most apparent in the difference between how wood (handled with kid gloves) and archer are treated by their TM. One of them is their "Great White(st) Hope" and the other is a lackey, who can be used and discarded since they can (and will) always import someone from WI, NZ, SA, Aus, or even Pak/Afg.
