England gets a injury boost ahead of the New Zealand series

Jofra Archer, Dom Sibley, and Chris Woakes will return to play soon in the County Championship itself and prepare for the New Zealand series well in advance. England star Ben Stokes could also return to action sooner than predicted. England players would take the county championship as a stage to prove their fitness for the upcoming New Zealand series next month. Olly Pope has also been in form this season after many familiar faces were injured or participating in IPL. Archer is part of the Sussex squad and would be playing against Kent.

Sibley on the other hand was injured in the Warwickshire vs Nottinghamshire match and now wants a place in the second XI. Chris Woakes is quarantined after IPL was called off after the bio bubble was breached. And the all-star fractured his finger in the first IPL match and the initial examination ruled him out till July.a
