• Archer can put himself into England frame in ODIs
Jofra Archer was “calm and optimistic”, according to the chief selector, Ed Smith, on being informed on Tuesday he had been chosen for the first time for England. Smith then noted Archer went out and “bowled brilliantly” for the Rajasthan Royals, which he construed as a good sign.
“He’s excited by the prospect”, he added. So is Smith. However, Archer acknowledged on Wednesday afternoon that when he received Smith’s call “I was honestly surprised and it was overwhelming for me”.
