(Reuters) -Jofra Archer is fit and ready to go if called upon for England's third test against India, coach Brendon McCullum said, as the injury-plagued fast bowler edges closer to a return in the longest format.

Archer has taken 42 wickets in 13 tests but has not played in the format since February 2021 after a succession of elbow injuries and back issues sidelined him for long periods.
