When Stokes joined the team, the diamond that won the World Cup was out; Laughing and crying world champions
Three Lions’ star pacer Jofra Archer failed to get a place in England’s New Zealand tour squad. Along with this, Archer has not been able to get a place in England’s provisional squad for this year’s World Cup.
Injured during IPL 2023, Archer withdrew midway through the tournament to focus on the Ashes series. But after the injury did not heal, the star also lost the Ashes.
Archer, who has recovered from a career-ending injury, is likely to miss the World Cup on October 5 with another injury.
But England chief selector Luke Wright said that the player is recovering very quickly and Archer will bowl for the defending champions in the second half of the tournament.
Wright said Archer will travel with the team as a reserve player and his progress will be closely monitored. Wright added that he wanted Archer to be a part of the team from the first stage of the World Cup, but that time had passed.
Archer played a crucial role in England’s victory in the 2019 World Cup. Archer took 20 wickets from 11 matches.
Meanwhile, youngster Gus Atkinson has been included in the squad for the New Zealand tour as Archer’s replacement. Despite not having enough experience in the List A format, the star’s brilliant form helped him.
Meanwhile, superstar Ben Stokes came back from retirement to the delight of England fans. Stokes, who was part of England’s New Zealand tour squad, is expected to be a part of the Three Lions in the World Cup as well.
