EASY DOES IT

Give Archer time to shine says Jos

- NEIL SQUIRES

 

JOS BUTTLER has urged England supporters to give Jofra Archer time to return to his brilliant best. 

The pace ace makes his long awaited comeback at Headingley tonight and Buttler wants him to be given breathing space in this warm-up series for next month’s

T20 World Cup. “It’s great to see him back and fit and bowling fast and just being back around the group,” said T20 skipper Buttler. “I know how much he’s missed that. He’s looking great but you have to temper expectations.

“He’s been out of international cricket a long time and you can never quite replicate that. We know what a superstar he’s been, but don’t expect too much, too soon.
