Naseer Hussain says that India vs England will not play Joffra Archer in 2 Tests

Earlier today, England announced their squad for the second Test match against India. And for the surprise of many people, Joffra Archer was included in the 15-member team. Express pacer played its first class game in 4 years earlier this week for Surrey.

Archer’s inclusion worries about nasar

While this news has encouraged most of the English fans, former captain Naseer Hussain is not completely sold on the inclusion of Archer. He feels that England can run him back. He bowled in just 18 overs in four days in the County Championship and fielded for about 100 overs.

“I think it’s a lot of risk this week, but it may have gone so well – I don’t know the body of Joffra Archer – it can be so good that they say, ‘We will play you this week’. Then the problem is who you leave out?” Nasir told Sky Sports Cricket.

“I think it is worth playing a gambling; I don’t know that it is worth taking this week.

He should not play in Edgbaston

Naseer also thinks that despite being added to the squad, England should wait to bring Archer into the Shee. He thinks that playing pacer in Edgbaston can cause major problems. And perhaps the best decision will be to see how he is going and then plays it in Lord’s.

“They could take three decisions with him. Leave it in Sussex to play another county championship game; I think they play in Warvikshire on Sunday and then choose it for Lord for the next Test. Also the problem is that he did not play three games in three weeks, that Lords did not take his third part, which he has to choose. Take a look

Ashes behind mind

The former captain understands that England is already thinking of ash. They want to check how his body will catch now, instead to take him directly to Australia and then things do not come out as they want.

“When we are waiting for so long, what is hurry? Why not wait for another week to make sure, of course, they have got a look at the future too. It is just a look at Edgbaston and Lords and this series. We know what is coming next and they would like to get down. Two of these next four Tests.”
