Ben Stokes Voices Excitement Over Jofra Archer’s Test Cricket Return

While Michael Vaughan has reservations about Jofra Archer’s immediate inclusion in the England Test team, current skipper Ben Stokes is eagerly anticipating Archer’s return. Stokes, reflecting on Archer’s potential comeback, emphasized his pleasure at seeing the bowler back in red-ball cricket. The second Test against India at Edgbaston, commencing on July 2, is the focus, with England leading the series 1-0. Archer’s Test record includes 42 wickets in 13 matches, with an economy rate of 2.99, demonstrating his ability to bowl long spells. Despite his impressive stats, Vaughan believes Archer should play more red-ball matches for Sussex before a Test at Lord’s. The England squad for the Edgbaston Test remains unannounced.
