England squad will be stronger with Archer- Liam Plunkett
|| Desk Report ||
England’s pace bowling star Liam Plunkett believes that inclusion of Jofra Archer would make England stronger in this upcoming world cup.
Caribbean born Archer recently debuted for England in the international cricket. He took one wicket against Ireland by giving 40 runs in 8 overs. After that he took two wickets in his debut t20 against Pakistan.
In his last one day match against Pakistan he impressed everyone with his deadly bowling. He took the wicket of Fakhar Zaman, he bowled two maiden overs in his 4 over spell. He just gave 6 runs in this match. So, after the match Liam Plunkett showered him with praise, he said:
"He's obviously a class act, He showed today, he's rocked up and bowled really nicely with pace and smashed the right good areas, picked up a wicket in the first few overs, beating the left-hander (Imam) on the outside edge."
But plankett also has respect for the other members in the squad. He believes if Archer didn’t perform some other might have performed in that match. The 121 wickets taker said,
“Whoever performs best should be in the squad. If it wasn't Jofra, someone else would be knocking on the door... If they come in and bowl well, they deserve to be there."
Its worth mentioning that Caribbean born Jofra Archer got the opportunity to play for England because he has been living in England for a long time now. He took 131 wickets in 28 first class matches. He has 23 wickets in 16 list A matches. Besides this he has 118 wickets in his 93 t20 matches.
