The mystery surrounding Jofra Archer\u2019s sudden departure from the Rajasthan Royals team during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season has finally been solved. Mumbai Indians confirmed on Saturday that Archer had in fact traveled to Belgium for a \u201cminor surgery\u201d. The timing of the visit and surgery, however, remains unclear.<\/p>\n
Mark Boucher, the coach of Mumbai Indians, admitted to the news, saying that Archer did visit Belgium for surgery, but he was not sure when it happened. \u201cI have things to look after,\u201d he said. Archer had earlier criticized the media for reporting on the matter without his consent.<\/p>\n
The reports had initially surfaced about the English pacer\u2019s brief visit to Belgium for an elbow surgery, which had left the cricketing world in shock. Archer\u2019s absence from the IPL tournament has also been a big blow to the Rajasthan Royals, who are struggling to find their footing in the tournament.<\/p>\n
The confirmation of Archer\u2019s surgery now puts to rest all the speculation surrounding his absence from the tournament. While it is still not clear when he will return to the game, the Rajasthan Royals team will be hoping to have their star pacer back in action soon to help them turn around their fortunes in the tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cPutting out an article without knowing the facts & without my consent is crazy. Whoever the reporter is, shame on you, an already worrying and troubling time for a player and you exploit it for your personal gain, it\u2019s people like you that are the problem (sic),\u201d Archer had earlier said in a social media post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
