England pacer Jofra Archer stated it is a "surreal" feeling to be back playing cricket again after a lengthy injury lay-off and the England speedster knows he must be patient during his comeback in an important year for the team.

Archer is included in both squads against Bangladesh, which was announced on Thursday, after taking six wickets in the third ODI against South Africa on Wednesday - his second international match back after 17 months out injured.

His career-best 6-40 helped secure England's 59-run victory in Wednesday's third one-dayer in Kimberley, though South Africa won the series 2-1.

"Being back after however long, it's kind of surreal," Archer said after England snapped a five-match winless streak in ODIs.

"You only get that feeling after you start playing. It's definitely gone up a few notches. It's just a long road, this is a small tick but I want to see how I am in April, June, July and September. This is just the start of the road."

England will hope a fully-fit Archer will help them reclaim the Ashes from Australia and retain the 50-overs World Cup title in India later this year.

"He is a graceful fast bowler and it is so good to have him back in international cricket," former England captain Nasser Hussain told Sky Sports.
