England right-arm seamer Jofra Archer is set to miss the first ODI of the three-match series against New Zealand starting from Sunday, October 26, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.

There are no indications that Jofra Archer's absence from the opening ODI is due to injury. Instead, England is adhering to its carefully planned workload management strategy, aimed at ensuring one of its premier fast bowlers remains fit and available for the majority of the upcoming Ashes series.
