Jofra Archer could lose £800,000 IPL deal as England fast bowler undergoes surgery after 'cutting his hand when he dropped a fish tank in the bath while he was trying to clean it' before January's tour of India

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 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 a bath while he was trying to clean it out.
