England's Jofra Archer has been named in the team to face India in the third test of the series at Lord's, England's cricket board (ECB) announced on Wednesday, as the fast bowler prepares for his first test in more than four years.

Injury-prone pace bowler Jofra Archer will play his first cricket test for England in 4 1/2 years after being selected for the third match of the series against India starting Thursday at Lord’s.

Lord's, known as the Mecca of cricket, is the oldest active stadium and has a rich history, serving as a prestigious venue for players. The match's significance is heightened by the anticipation of the historical context of India's previous successes at this iconic ground.
