Jofra Archer is set to miss a significant portion of the English season after a decision to operate on his troublesome right elbow.Having seen a specialist on Wednesday, the decision was taken for Archer to undergo surgery on Friday. Although the ECB is reluctant to put any timeframe on his return - or go into any detail about the exact nature of the operation - it is understood England have not given up hope of him playing some part in the Test series against India, which is scheduled to be played in August and September.The England management hope that by dealing with the issue now, Archer will be free to play a full part in the T20 World Cup and the Ashes, both of which are scheduled to be played at the end of the year.
