• Test captain Root looking forward to practising with paceman
• ‘He hurried a few guys up’ in T20 victory over Pakistan
Joe Root has been given food for thought by Jofra Archer’s impressive contribution to England’s T20 victory against Pakistan in Cardiff on Sunday.
While the immediate aim for both players is to focus on the World Cup – Archer will further press his claims for inclusion in England’s final 15-man squad during the ODI series against Pakistan that begins on Wednesday – as Test captain, Root is bound to spend time formulating England’s Ashes campaign later this summer.
