The report states that he will have a third injection on a troublesome right elbow and that could mean that that the IPL's Player of the Tournament in 2020 may not be available for Rajasthan Royals. The franchise, however, did not react on the matter.


The Royals - which finished at the bottom of the table - was looking forward to making a strong comeback in the 2021 edition, but Archer’s absence could hurt the side. However, in the auction, Royals snapped up Mustafizur Rahman and Chris Morris.
