Jofra Archer Out for Remainder of The Ashes Series Ollie Pope Dropped from England Squad

England paceman Jofra Archer will miss the final two Tests of The Ashes due to a side strain, with Gus Atkinson set to replace him. England has also dropped underperforming No.3 batter Ollie Pope, who averaged just 20.8 in six innings, bringing in Jacob Bethell for his first series appearance. Archer’s absence is significant as he took nine wickets at an average of 27 in the series. England’s team announcement follows an investigation into player behavior after a social media incident involving Ben Duckett.
