England kept the same players for their second cricket match against India. The team will play at Edgbaston ground on Wednesday. Fast bowler Jofra Archer must wait longer before he can return to action. Captain Ben Stokes leads the same group that won the first game. The unchanged lineup shows confidence after their strong victory.

The English cricket team beat India at Headingley stadium last week. They won their opening match of the five-game series. England scored 371 runs on the final day to win the contest. The team chased down this target and won the match by five wickets. This victory gave England a good start to the important series.

Jofra Archer wanted to return to Test cricket after a long break. The quick bowler last played this format during February 2021. Sussex county team recently picked Archer for their match against Durham. He bowled his first red-ball cricket overs after four years away from the game. Team officials added the 30-year-old player to the Test squad.

Archer could not attend training on Monday morning. A family emergency prevented the fast bowler from joining his teammates. The cricket officials decided to name an unchanged team for Wednesday. Ben Stokes will captain the side that features Shoaib Bashir and Harry Brook. Other players include Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue and Chris Woakes.
