Champions Trophy: Atherton, Hussain Call For England XI Shake-up Ahead Of Afghanistan Clash
“I was also a bit worried looking at Jofra when he came back on,” Atherton said on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast. “You've got a guy who has had a lot of time away from cricket, so you have to give him time to find his best form again, but Simon Doull did a bit of analysis on the tele on differences between his action in 2019 and now. Jofra pre-injury had a high arm and that snap of the wrist [through his bowling action], and it didn't quite look like that to me.”
Archer, who was England’s hero in their 2019 World Cup triumph, has been plagued by injuries in the years since, and his struggles were evident in the game against Australia, where he conceded 82 runs, including 49 from his final five overs. His inability to contain Australia in the closing stages proved costly as England’s total of 352 was chased down in record fashion.
