2nd Test: England Got To Be Careful, Not To Expect Too Much Too Soon From Archer, Says Vaughan
BBC Test Match Special: Former skipper Michael Vaughan has cautioned England against expecting too much too soon from Jofra Archer if he’s picked for the upcoming Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against India at Lord’s, citing that the current set-up sees the fast-bowler as the answer to their bowling problems in the series.
Archer is in line for a return to Test cricket after four years as England are set to shake up their fast-bowling attack at Lord's after India's batters had an absolute run-fest in both innings at Edgbaston. Archer has played 13 Tests for England and picked 42 wickets at an average of 31.04.
“I can understand, I have a real concern about Jofra playing next week, I really do. I can't see how his body is going to be able to cope with a five day match on the back of that one day in the field. But I can understand why England are wrapping him in cotton wool because he is that X-Factor and he has got that ability.
