Butler doesn’t expect much from Archer

Jofra Archer has become one of the best pacers in the England cricket team. But he has to be knocked out again and again due to injuries. After winning the 2019 ODI World Cup, Archer did not play much. He has been out of international cricket for a long time. However, even if he returns to the field, Buttler does not expect much from him. The English captain said so in an interview recently.

Archer recently returned to the field after recovering from injury. But it is not international cricket, the English pacer is playing in South Africa’s franchise-based Twenty20 tournament, the SAT20 league. However, he is not able to show himself fully there. After a long layoff, it may take some time for him to return to the field. England’s white-ball captain is keeping that in mind.

On Archer’s return, Buttler said, “I played against him (Archer) in the league in South Africa. He is not bowling as well as he used to. We have to understand that he is back after a long time. He will not be at his best now. It will be difficult for him to come back. . It’s exciting for us to have such a bowler back. Can’t ask for much from him for now.”

Regardless of the performance, Buttler wants to see Archer in the regular team. According to him, the England team needs a bowler like Archer in this crucial year. Buttler added, “This year we have the Ashes series, the ODI World Cup. There are some important bilateral series. All in all, it is going to be an important year. Hopefully, we will have Archer for the whole year.”

It should be noted that the England Cricket Board has included Archer in the team for the upcoming ODI series against South Africa. This pacer can be seen playing from the first match of the series. After a long time, how will Archer’s performance be in the return match? That question will have to wait for now. But above all else, England is waiting to get back the old archer who was on fire with the ball.
