Jofra Archer (Getty Images) New Delhi: Chilling Director of Jofra Archer’s content for test cricket, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Rob Key said that Pacer could be back much earlier, but a decision was made to allow him to gradually build the longest format requirements.Former England Captain Michael Vaughan and head coach Sussex Paul Farbrace both advised Archer’s rush to the second test against India in Edgbaston, despite his recent return to cricket Red Ball. Archer, who had not played the test since 2021, was named in the English team after bowling 18 overs and takes a goal in a four -day regional match for Sussex against Durham.

Should England accept cautious access with Jofra Archer’s return to cricket testing?
“Jofra was in a long period when he was built and built (in a cricket of a white ball). The temptation could have been rushing back earlier. But we actually went this way to make sure we were in this position where we were thinking about playing,” he added.England won the first headingley test, but their pace of attack lacked penetration despite the result. Archer, one of the standouts of the pitch in the recent iPL season, could provide top England – if he did the XI finals.“He could be one of the best pitchers we had. And you just do this by doing it in a test cricket. Hopefully in the next few years we will be lucky that Jofra has a chance to bet on this claim,” Key said.The ECB director also stressed that the English captain Ben Stokes would be well placed to intelligently handle the work burden of Archer, and should remember his history susceptible to injury.“These are the players of the impact. You don’t want them to do other roles. This is where you need additional skills so you can share a little more work. The temptation occasionally with Jofra is that she can do everything.“But you have to use it when it can affect the game and Ben (Stokes) is one of the best in it. You have to be smart as you use them to help you win the game,” Key explained.The Mark Wood, who was out of his knee after this year, was optimistic about his return, but did not specify the date. News suggest that at the end of July, Speedster could be available for the fifth and last test against India.“Wood is someone who could appear after bowling in networks like it did (in 2023), and it is 96 mph, swinging the ball and hitting length. We are very happy to have the ability to hit its straps from the beginning.“Jofra is close to the end of the scale Mark Wood: quite pure talent, not many moving parts to its action. He knows exactly what AO is doing,” Key added.
