England paceman Jofra Archer was ruled out of the second Test against the West Indies for breaking coronavirus “protocols”, giving the home side a major headache as they seek to level the series, according to AFP.

Both teams have been living in “bio-secure bubble” sites at the Ageas Bowl, the venue for last week's first Test, and Emirates Old Trafford, where the final two matches of the series will take place.

Sussex fast bowler Archer broke the rules by going home to Brighton on Monday following the end of the first Test, before the team travelled up to Manchester.

He apologised for putting his teammates in “danger” and will now undergo five days of self-isolation.
