Chennai: England's star fast bowler Jofra Archer will miss the second Test against India, starting here on Saturday, due to an elbow injury sustained during the series opener.

The Barbados-born fast bowler, in any case, was supposed to be rested during the course of the series as a part of England's rotation policy.

The ECB also clarified that the fast bowler had not sustained the injury due to any previous niggle.

The visitors lead the four-match series 1-0 after their 227-run win in the first Test.
