Archer in line for red ball return from injury for Sussex
LEEDS, England, June 21 (Reuters) - Fast bowler Jofra Archer could be set for his first test cricket action in more than four years after being named in English county side Sussex's squad for their trip to Durham, starting on Sunday.
Archer has not picked up a red cricket ball since May 2021 for Sussex after a series of injuries kept delaying his return.
He has since returned to international white-ball cricket for England, his last appearance coming in the ICC Champions Trophy one-day defeat to South Africa in March.
England selector Luke Wright said earlier this month that if Archer could get some action for Sussex he could be available for the second test against India next month, with captain Ben Stokes saying the 30-year-old was desperate to return to test cricket.

Tottenham ask Bournemouth about Antoine Semenyo then immediately stop transfer pursuit
TOTTENHAM reportedly launched an enquiry for Antoine Semenyo before immediately halting their pursuit of the Bournemouth star. New Spurs boss Thomas Frank is eager to add a dazzling attacker to his forward line this summer. 1 And Semenyo, 25, emerged as a target after Tottenham also put Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo on their shortlist. The Bees' French forward netted 20 Premier League goals last term. But despite the opportunity to reunite with Frank in north London, Mbeumo reportedly favours a £60m move to Manchester United. Semenyo then became the clear alternative after also proving himself to be a goal menace when cutting inside on his left foot. The Athletic claims Tottenham even went so far as to contact Bournemouth over a move for their Ghanaian winger, who netted 13 goals and bagged seven assists in 42 games this term. However, the Cherries have already seen their squad ravaged by big sides this summer. Dean Huijsen joined Real Madrid for £50million last month, while fellow defender Illya Zabarnyi could be off to Paris Saint-Germain for around £60m. Milos Kerkez has also agreed a £40m switch to Premier League champs Liverpool. And with forwards always carrying a premium, it's claimed that Bournemouth told Tottenham to pay £70m for Semenyo. The mind-blowing fee was immediately rebuffed Spurs, who have decided to not pursue a deal for now. They will continue to scour the market for a new right-sided forward at a better price. But should Tottenham fail to secure an alternative, they could come back for Semenyo later in the transfer window. The former Bristol City and Sunderland man still has four years to run on his Cherries contract. And Semenyo is also on the shortlist at Man United, who could move should they end up losing Mbeumo to Spurs.
