England coach McCullum says paceman Archer 'ready to go' against India

Archer was in the squad for the second Test at Edgbaston but did not feature as India hammered England by 336 runs on Sunday to square the five-match series at 1-1. The third match of the series starts at Lord's on Thursday. With a tight turnaround, both sides are set to change their pace attacks, with India already confirming the return of their strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested at Edgbaston. Barbados-born Archer burst onto the international scene in 2019 but played the last of his 13 Tests in February 2021.
