The England and Wales Cricket Board has officially warned speedster Jofra Archer and fined him an “undisclosed amount” for breaching the bio-security protocols ahead of the second Test versus West Indies.

Archer broke the bio-bubble last Monday and left for his home in Brighton.

“Following a disciplinary hearing held on Friday evening, 17 July, England cricketer Jofra Archer has been fined an undisclosed amount and received an official written warning after admitting to breaching the team’s bio-secure protocols on Monday 13 July when he made an unauthorised visit to his home in Hove,” the ECB said in a statement.

“The hearing was chaired by Ashley Giles, Managing Director, England Men’s Cricket, and included Archer’s agent and a representative from the Professional Cricketers’ Association.”

It means he will be available for selection in the final Test of the series, which the West Indies lead 1-0 after their win in Southampton.

Archer has already apologised for his indiscretion which led to a last-minute change in team selection.
