Jofra Archer’s period of isolation within the England camp is over after a second coronavirus test returned negative.

But this news means Archer will be available for selection for the third and deciding Test which gets underway also at Old Trafford on Friday.
Jofra Archer’s second coronavirus test has returned a negative result meaning his period of isolation is now over and he can be selected for Friday’s third Test
Archer was kicked out the England squad for the second Test at Old Trafford after breaching bio-secure protocols by driving home in between the first and second Tests
Archer was kicked out after breaching strict coronavirus protocols by driving home to Hove last Monday while travelling between two bio-secure ‘bubbles’ at the Ageas Bowl near Southampton and Manchester.
As well as having to go through a period of isolation, Archer was fined about £13,500 – equivalent to his match fee – by the ECB for the indiscretion.
He has since taken two Covid-19 tests and both have returned negative.
