England Playing XI for 3rd Test vs India Announced: Jofra Archer Returns, Replaces Josh Tongue For Lord's Test
The tearaway pacer will look to boost England's bowling attack as Ben Stokes and his team aim at bouncing back in the IND vs ENG Lord's Test. The IND vs ENG 2025 Test series is tied 1-1 with India winning the second Test match at Edgbaston.
England playing XI for the 3rd Test against India has been announced and the highlight of it is the return of Jofra Archer. The tearaway pacer was included in the England National Cricket Team ahead of the 2nd Test, but the management decided against tinkering with the winning combination that secured victory in the IND vs ENG 2025 Test series opener in Leeds. Now that he has been included, Jofra Archer is all set to play his first Test match since 2021, which coincidentally was against India in Ahmedabad. Jofra Archer has replaced Josh Tongue in England's playing XI. England will look to bounce back after suffering a humiliating 336-run defeat at Edgbaston in the second Test.
