Delhi: The third match of the five matches of India and England will be played at the historic Lord’s ground from July 10. Before this exciting match, England captain Ben Stokes has given a big statement about his star fast bowler Jofra Archer.
Stokes said in a press conference, “When you have a talented bowler, no dream seems impossible.” His statement is being linked to the Archer’s Test team with a bang.
Actually, Jofra Archer is returning to Test cricket after about four years. He last played a Test match against Australia in 2019, where he bowled brilliantly. He stayed out of the team for a long time due to injury, where the elbow injury and stress fracture in the back kept him away from international Test cricket for two and a half years.
Now once again, Captain Stokes said about the archer who returned to the team once again, “Jofra’s return is very special for England cricket. He has come out of the difficult period and has prepared himself again. The first two Tests have been challenging for us, but now the time has come to give new players a chance to give a chance.”
Team management hopes that the presence of Archer will lead England’s bowling attack and strengthen. Their high speed, precise line-length and bounce bowling can increase the difficulties of opposition teams. Also, in the dressing room, his confidence and energy will create a positive atmosphere for the team.
A look at Jofra Archer’s Test career
So far, Archer has taken a total of 42 wickets for England in 13 Tests at an average of 31.04. He played the last Test match against India in February 2021, and now he is returning against the same team in Lord’s.
England hopes that Jofra’s return will prove to be decisive not only in Lord’s Test, but also in the rest of the series matches.
