SA 20 is the first tournament that Archer is taking part in more than one year. He has been struggling with injuries for more than 2 years now. He has had his struggled with his arm, which was operated last year. He then resumed returning to the field with some bowling in the nets late last year. And in SA 20, he looks to be in same touch again. Archer missed the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2023 and several other important assignments for England. 

He wants to get back in same rhythm before an important year as the ICC ODI Men's World Cup is scheduled to take place in India later this year. He will also want to pay back the faith that Mumbai Indians have showed in him by picking him at IPL 2022 February auctions despite knowing the fact that he may be not available for a full season.
