England’s pace bowling sensation Jofra Archer is currently in India with Sussex. A few days ago, Jofra Archer was seen hitting the nets as he turned up for Karnataka State Association XI, dismissing his Sussex teammate.
Clips of Archer’s bowling were all over social media.
Recently, Jofra Archer shared a few stories on his Instagram account, including one in a RCB cafe. This has made fans wonder if Archer could be a late entry into RCB’s bowling lineup in the IPL.
Archer was very keen on joining the IPL auction but was stopped by England’s cricket board from doing so due to his past injury records and keeping the World Cup in mind.
Archer was last seen in the IPL playing for the Mumbai Indians but was ruled out of the IPL just after four matches due to injury. He has not played any cricket since then. With the t 20 World Cup coming, England would love to see their pacer in full form.
Recently, England’s white ball skipper, Jos Buttler, also shared his opinion on Archer’s participation in the upcoming T-20 World Cup.
In his interaction with Eurosport, Buttler said, “For Jofra, we all know just what a special cricketer he is, and it’s been a tough few years for him not being able to get on the park and perform, but with someone like him who is such a superstar, you’re always optimistic that with the physios and doctors working, his body will just allow him to get back where he was.”.

Buttler further added, “I know how hard he’s been working at it and, of course, how desperate he is to come back. A couple of times (I’ve spoken to him). It’s really exciting for him that hopefully he’s going to get back to performing because, as a captain, he’s someone you want to throw the ball to.”
