You've Got To Play Him: Anderson Urges England To Bring Archer For Lord's Test

By IANS News July 08, 2025 • 10:44 AM View: 809

ICC World Test Championship: England great James Anderson believes that the Ben Stokes-led side should take a chance by including the injury-prone fast bowler Jofra Archer in the crucial third Test against India, scheduled to begin at Lord’s on Thursday.

England suffered a heavy 336-run defeat to India in the Edgbaston Test, resulting in the five-match ICC World Test Championship series being levelled at 1-1.

Archer, who joined the England squad at Edgbaston last week, hasn't played Test cricket in more than four years, but recently made a red-ball return at first class level for Sussex.
