Cricket World Cup 2023: Pacer Jofra Archer Set To Travel With England Squad As Reserve Player
England speedster Jofra Archer will travel to India for the ODI World Cup with the Three Lions squad as a reserve player. Archer was a notable absentee from England's 15-man squad for the World Cup due to an elbow injury. However, on Monday England's national selector, Luke Wright confirmed that the 28-year-old pacer will travel with the squad as a reserve. "Jofra Archer will be travelling with the squad to India. He is one of the reserves but we also need to look after him, focus on his rehab," Wright said as quoted from Sky Sports. Another eye-catching change in England's squad was the inclusion of youngster Harry Brook who continues to rise in each format with time.
Joe Root Added To England Squad For First ODI Against Ireland At His Own Request
Former England Test skipper Joe Root has been added to England's first ODI squad against Ireland at Headingley at his own request. England's initial squad didn't include a single player from their provisional ODI World Cup squad for the three-match ODI series. Harry Brook was the only exception, he was a part of the ODI series but after being included in the squad in place of Jason Roy, he will rest for the entire series. Root will be looking to gain some momentum before the ODI World Cup commences on October 5. He has struggled for form during England's recently concluded 3-1 series win over New Zealand, making 6, 0 and 4 in the first three games before a rusty knock of 29(40) in the fourth ODI at Lord's. His knock further exposed his lack of rhythm and consistency in the 50-over format.
