Absolutely Ludicrous': Simon Doull Slams Archer's England Absence Ahead Of New Zealand Tests
Sky Sports Cricket Podcast: Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull has launched a scathing attack on the absence of Jofra Archer from England's squad for the first Test against New Zealand, describing the situation as "absolutely ludicrous" and questioning the pacer's commitment to red-ball cricket.
Archer, who continued playing for Rajasthan Royals during the IPL playoffs, was not included in England's squad for the series opener at Lord's. England coach Brendon McCullum has also indicated that the fast bowler may not be ready for the second Test, further fuelling debate over the management of one of England's premier quicks.
Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Doull criticised both Archer and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for allowing the situation to unfold.
