The furious England pacer Jofra Archer is making his comeback to the England team after his prolonged elbow injury. The bowler is currently playing in the SA20 league and England’s captain Jos Butter has expressed some words on the return of Archer.
The white-ball captain emphasized that he is not expecting much from the bowler soon. It will take some time to get him back to his original identity. Speaking to Sky Sports, Buttler said it’s exciting to get someone like Archer back on the team. However, the wicketkeeper feels it will not be easy for Archer to get back his old rhythm back.
Talking about the lethal pacer, Butter said,”It is exciting to bring someone like Jofra back into the squad. I played against him in the SA20 and he was getting it down at a fair pace. It must have been incredibly tough for him to come back after such a long period of time.”
He further added,”When we see him, his performance level is so high but coming back from long-term injuries, don’t expect too much from him too soon. It is fantastic to see him back on the pitch, doing what he loves doing, and in such a huge year for English cricket, with an Ashes series in the summer and then a 50-over World Cup later in the year, fingers crossed Jofra will available for all those things.”
Buttler also talked about the ODI World cup in October and said there are many places to fill in the squad.
“We don’t have many games before the World Cup so they are all crucial for us to try and nail down some positions and give people confidence in role clarity. We have a decent idea of the squad we want to take to the World Cup but there is competition for places and people pushing and that drives people and standards, added Buttler.”
