Archer confidence excites England captain Root

London, Aug 13:

England captain Joe Root said today that he has no qualms about launching self-assured fast bowler Jofra Archer’s Test cricket career in the cauldron of an Ashes clash at Lord’s.
The 24-year-old Barbados-born quick seems certain to be handed his first Test cap on Wednesday in place of the injured James Anderson as the hosts look to get back on level terms with Australia after a 251-run humbling in the first encounter at Edgbaston.
If selected, Archer will be making his Test debut on the ground where he bowled the decisive Super Over that sealed England’s World Cup final win over New Zealand last month.
“He (Archer) is certainly very confident and that’s great to see in a young guy, as he should be after the World Cup,” Root said at Lord’s on Tuesday. (PTI)
