Jofra Archer to change the tongue in Edgbaston?

England has a head start. Despite the non-availability of pacers such as Gas Atkinson, Joffra Archer, Gas Atkinson, Mark Wood and Oli Stone, the three Lions are 1-0 in the 5-match test series against India. Now, one of the pacers is available for selection.

Right time to take Jofra Archer

Archer played the first class match after 4 years. After bowling for just 18 overs for Surrey, England feels that he is ready. Express pacer is part of the team for the second test. Everyone knows what the Archer brings to the table. The question is: Is it right to throw it or not?

But if England were really worried about their fitness, they would not add Archer to the squad. Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum used to play him one -two games for Surrey in the county championship, if it would have happened. But he has been chosen.

And you can’t leave him out. For two reasons. One because he is probably the best bowler he has. He cannot have a representative in Test cricket, but in capacity, no one comes close to him. The second is probably more important. England have already won a Test against India without archer and will return themselves to win the series.

However, they would like to test Archer keeping the ash in mind. Later this year, he will visit Australia. Before doing this, England would like to test their fitness. Will he be able to face the pieces of red-ball cricket once again. And this is the best time to do because it will be England’s final test series before the Ashes.

Who to drop?

If Archer comes, someone has to go out. England will not leave Shoaib Bashir, as he is his only spinner and someone who bowled the most overs for 49 in Headingley. Bridan Cars must have got only 4 wickets, but he was his fastest pace with Stokes.

Chris Woakes was not his best near. Took only 1 wicket. But to ensure that a significant 38 -run knock in the first innings, to ensure that the deficit was just 6. As the India vs England Test series runs, Vox will only be better. He is the most experienced pacer that he has and assurances a valuable lower-order run to England at number 8.

The only bowler is Josh tongue. He took the most wickets in the first Test, 7. But only two of them were among the top six batsmen. He cleanses the tail, but what if they are not able to claim the wicket of the best batsmen? And it is not that cars or archer cannot rattle the tales. So, unfortunately, it will be the tongue that goes out for Archer.
