Boost for Brook before T20 World Cup starts next week
Jofra Archer is the surprise inclusion in England’s team for their Twenty20 series opener against Sri Lanka on Friday, having initially been excluded from the touring squad.
The fast bowler was not named in the two white-ball groups to tour Sri Lanka after sustaining a side strain during the Ashes but was picked for the T20 World Cup, which begins a week on Saturday.
