The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has instructed Jofra Archer to skip next year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) to handle the workload of injury-prone pacers in the run-up to the 2024 T20 World Cup, a report said.
Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 mini auction will be held in Dubai on December 19. All 10 franchises are preparing for IPL 2024 Auction. As per media report IPL 2024 matches start from April 1st week. In recent development Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians former Player Jofra Archer out from IPL 2024.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has instructed Jofra Archer to skip next year’s Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) to handle the workload of injury-prone pacers in the run-up to the 2024 T20 World Cup, a report said. Archer, who was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 8 crore ahead of the 2022 IPL, was released by the franchise last week.
Jofra Archer’s name is not in the list of players registered for the IPL auction to be held in Dubai on December 19. The bowler, who has been plagued by multiple injuries, suffered a recurrence of his elbow stress fracture while playing for MI in the IPL in May.
The 28-year-old Barbados-born cricketer has not played any professional cricket since then and even missed the ODI World Cup 2023. The ECB believes Archer’s comeback will be easier to manage if he is in the UK in April and May under its supervision if he is on the books of an IPL team in India looking to get his money’s worth,” reported ‘ESPNCricinfo’.

The archer had briefly traveled to India for the World Cup but returned to the UK a week later due to elbow pain. The ECB is confident that he will be part of England’s fast forward line for the T20 World Cup 2024.
