Give archer

Tendulkar Trophy Tests: Former England captain Michael Vaughan thinks Jofra Archer shouldn’t be in the squad for the second Test against India at Edgbaston happening next week, adding that the pacer needs to play more red-ball cricket for Sussex before being called up for the third Test at Lord’s starting on July 10.

At the time when England played the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Tests against India, which they won by five wickets at Headingley, Archer turned out for Sussex in the County Championship game against Durham at Chester-le-Street, marking his first first-class appearance since 2021 and returned with figures of 1-32 in 18 overs.

“No. He's had four years out of action, I don't see what the great rush is. Just give him a couple of games for Sussex and then bring him in for the game at Lord’s. I would continue with the attack that have bowled so well here at Leeds this week,” said Vaughan in a video posted by BBC on Wednesday.
