When England played the inaugural round of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test matches against India, winning by five wickets in the first at Headingley. Archer played his first first-class game since 2021 when appearing for Sussex in the County Championship match with Durham at Chester-le-Street and had figures of 1-32 in 18 overs.

“No. He’s had four years out of action, I don’t see what the great rush is. Just give him a couple of games for Sussex and then bring him in for the game at Lord’s. I would continue with the attack that have bowled so well here at Leeds this week,” said Vaughan in a video posted by BBC on Wednesday.
