The 30-year-old fast bowler missed the final two Tests of England’s 4-1 Ashes defeat after sustaining a side strain and was not initially named in the squad for the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka.
Archer joins Jamie Overton and Sam Curran as seam-bowling options, with England again leaning on a battery of spin options.
England team to face Sri Lanka in Kandy: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Harry Brook (captain), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid.
