NEW DELHI: After making a successful return to Test cricket through England’s 22-run win at Lord’s, England fast bowler Jofra Archer said he is keen on playing the remaining Tests against India so that he can prove he deserves a place in the squad for the Ashes trip in Australia.

Archer made his Test comeback at Lord's after four years and claimed five wickets as England clinched a tight victory over India to go 2-1 up in the five-match series being played for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

But England will still be careful about Archer's workload because of elbow and back injuries previously hampering his availability in the longer format.
