Jofra Archer returns to England squad for second Test against India

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that Jofra Archer has been added to England’s squad for the second Test against India, which will take place on July 2 in Edgbaston.

After missing for a while due to a recurring elbow issue and back stress fracture, the 30-year-old makes his first appearance in England’s Test lineup since the 2021 tour of India.

Archer, who has 42 wickets in 13 Test matches, made his county championship debut on Sunday against Sussex for the first time in four years.

His most recent appearance for England was against South Africa in a one-day international at the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan in March.

The inclusion of the pacer makes the only change to the England squad that surpassed India’s thrilling five-wicket victory at Headingley on Tuesday to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Ben Stokes (captain), Jofra Archer (captain), Shoaib Bashir, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Jamie Overton, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, and Chris Woakes make the England squad.

Customers have been raving about this purchase and praising the “fresh and clean” scent. This fragrance has quickly grown to be one of my favorites, according to a happy customer. You’re greeted with a lively burst of juicy kiwi, crisp rhubarb, and watery watermelon right away. It’s fresh, playful, and instantly upbeat.

While a second added, “Watermelon is my favorite perfume for everyday wear and to layer up with other people,”

However, some customers claimed its lasting power wasn’t the best, which was what caused the most negative feedback. It has a pleasant scent and a hint of watermelon, according to one customer. Although it’s not as long as an eau de parfum, the scent is pleasant for the summer. The duration is not quite as long as this Eau De Toilette fragrance, which is an Eau De Parfum, as previously mentioned.

Jessie J shares breast cancer is ‘all gone’ in huge update after surgery

Following surgery, Jessica J posted a positive update. Jessica recently revealed that she had “early breast cancer” and that she would be having surgery, but in a recent post, she revealed that all of her “cancer is gone” as she sat down and recuperated from the operation.

She stated in her Instagram Stories, “Cancer has vanished.” My nipple is still present. Without feeling guilty, I can watch Love Island. More than ever, I’m settling in and talking to friends because my mother lives in our (My) Sky, which is also known as Sky.

Chanan making me feel secure and the massages are 10/10 for connecting with other people who are going through the same time and supporting each other. Various other things in abundance.

Jessie claims that her “cancer has vanished” (@jessiej/Instagram).

She then went on to share her sincere thoughts about her recent surgery and diagnosis, revealing that she “does not like sitting down.”

Cons (Some of these are very real, and some are silly): I’m not able to be the person I’m used to being or the person I’m used to being. Never do I sit down. She continued, “lol.

The mentality behind this is [foggy face emoji] “The fear of not knowing if the cancer is completely gone.” The discomfort and pain are normal but annoying when I try to fall asleep. Snoeezing is a myth because it hurts. Not urinating after taking the painkillers and an anaesthetic. I simply want to poooooo.

Jessie J and partner
She expressed her emotions in a sincere post on Instagram (@jessiej/Instagram).

In her next Instagram posts, Jessie continued to discuss being “backed up” and wrote, “I’ve only been on paracetamol and ibuprofen because my blood pressure is too low for anything higher, and even they have caused me to be backed up like an old chimney.”

Your girl has 20% leg and 80% [poo emoji], according to the statement “I have had laxatives, a good fresh diet, prunes, juices, and laxatives.” Please make any recommendations.

Jessie told the 80, 000 audience at the Summertime Ball that this would be her final performance before her surgery a few weekends ago when she gave a speech at the event. She stated, “This is my final show before I go to breast cancer.” You have no idea, so it’s so special to me. Being honest and expressing my feelings makes me feel so special to be from the UK.

This is my final appearance before going to bed, and all the other things make me feel so special. I’m so grateful for my son, my career, and this life. My parents and my spouse. My crew, my band, and family.

She continued, “We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much to do,” adding: “We are so lucky.”

In a video that was shared with online fans, Jessie made the announcement about her diagnosis. I was diagnosed with early breast cancer, she said. I’m holding on to the word “early” because cancer stinks in any way.
