Jofra Archer has put the cricket world on notice that nothing can stop him now that he is fit enough to resume his international career after nearly two years out with injuries.
The 27-year-old has been building back up to top speed in the SA20 tournament for MI Cape Town and has looked seriously impressive. But he will pull on an England shirt this week to take things up a notch, kicking off 2023 in the best way possible.
And he is hoping to emulate his breakthrough year of 2019 when he played a starring role in both the World Cup and the Ashes with moments of high pace and quality. “Hopefully it can be a repeat of 2019,” Archer said after training in Bloemfontein.
