After an injury-plagued 2022 calendar year, England pacer Jofra Archer is finally "ready" to return to the sport this year.
Archer took to Twitter to share a story on how he overcame injuries to return to the cricket field last year, during a warm-up match between England and England A ahead of the Pakistan tour.
"2022 thank you 2023 I'm ready," tweeted Archer.

Pacer Jofra Archer returns to England's national team after a 14-player squad was announced in December last year for the three-match ODI series against South Africa, which begins in January.
Archer, England's leading wicket-taker in the 2019 ODI World Cup, last played for his country in March 2021, during England's T20I tour of India.
In addition, the in-form Harry Brook received his first call-up to the ODI squad. Ben Duckett, who impressed as a Test opener in the recent 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan, is also picked to the ODI squad for the first time since 2016.
Jos Buttler will lead the team that has some familiar names and a fast-paced attack with many all-rounders. The team also includes Olly Stone, David Willey, Sam Curran, and Chris Woakes, in addition to the returning Archer and Topley.
Jonny Bairstow is still recovering from an injury suffered before the T20 World Cup. The squad's top-order options remain Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Harry Brook, and Ben Duckett.
The three-match series will be contested over the course of six days, with matches taking place in Bloemfontein and Kimberley. The first game of the series will be played on 27 January in Bloem, while the final game will be played on 1 February in Kimberley.
ODI Squad: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Olly Stone, Reece Topley, David Willey and Chris Woakes.
