Jofra Archer

Hea coming back after the test actually.....hope he's fit for the t20 world cup

No complaints from me, he actually turned up and fought with ball and bat

He looked knackered in the second innings at Adelaide, they have probably thought it is not worth risking him any further given the series is gone.

By the same token, this is deeply irritating news. Archer has been one of the very few successes to date on this tour.

Just gone for 13 of his first over
Silver Feather
Midfield
Win or lose v Nepal we are going nowhere in this tournament.
They rested him from the last T20 against Sri Lanka to be ready for this
Getting some tap off Nepal
Nasser Butt-Head
Midfield
Looks a bit off it for me.
Quaver
Goalkeeper
Needs dropping.
Takes a wicket three balls later to make me look a right divvy. But he leaks too many runs for T20 and has been well out of form for over a year, getting on for age too.

He is not the only one, but it doesn't sit right to me that he has gone to line his pockets in the IPL whilst sitting on a central contract and is not available to fulfil his obligations as part of that. I would think that there is some clause in the contract which deducts him salary for lack of availability for reasons outside of injury, but given he, Bethell, Carse and Ahmed have all effectively done the same thing, I would be taking a much harder stance and revoking central contracts for those who aren't available for the start of the international summer due to commitments elsewhere. It would cause a storm but our best players are still available (Root, Brook, Stokes) so I'd gladly take the risk.

Cancel his central contract.
"Jofra we need to assess," England head coach Brendon McCullum told BBC Sport. "He's having a little bit of a break at the momen We've
We've seen in the past we can leave Jof to his own devices, work on his game and follow a plan that has been set. He turns up having that followed that plan to a tee".
Or in plain English "we let him do what he likes,when he likes"
He's taking the p!ss.
