Both fast bowlers are making comebacks from injuries —Wood is currently recovering from a knee injury suffered during England's defeat to Afghanistan in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, while Archer recently featured for Sussex in his first red-ball match in four years and is being considered for England's second Test against India at Edgbaston, starting July 2.

Wood revealed that he is aiming to be ready for the fifth and final Test of the ongoing five-match Test series against India at The Oval, which starts on July 31.
