• Jofra Archer believes he is ready to deal with pressure
A confident Eoin Morgan declared England to be “in the best possible place” and simply desperate for the World Cup to start after their 15-man squad and a new retro-looking kit were officially unveiled on Tuesday.
There are nine days to go before England’s much-anticipated curtain-raiser against South Africa at the Oval, with the world’s No 1-ranked side knowing this summer represents a once in a generation chance to end their hunt for a maiden 50-over global trophy. The 4-0 series victory over Pakistan, achieved despite heavy rotation of players, was ideal preparation. Jofra Archer was successfully integrated into the set‑up and impressed during his fleeting appearances, while Morgan was able to take a final view on Joe Denly and decide that Liam Dawson represents the better bet as the back-up spinner.
