It has been revealed that Jofra Archer injured his finger before England's tour of India while accidentally smashing a fish tank at home in January - which could now scupper his £800,000 IPL deal. The fast bowler is set to undergo surgery on Monday following his injury and England will now make a call this week on whether he will compete in the Indian Premier League. And the Guardian have since revealed his injury came about in freak circumstances, after a fish tank was dropped in the bath while he was trying to clean it out. The surgery follows some minor irritation in the finger after featuring in England's T20 series defeat in India. England had initially confirmed on Saturday that Archer would need to undergo surgery to find out more on the problem.
