Current England captain Ben Stokes has expressed his excitement about Jofra Archer’s possible return to Test cricket, a sentiment contrasting with former captain Michael Vaughan’s opinion. Vaughan believes Archer shouldn’t be in the playing XI for the upcoming Edgbaston Test against India. Stokes highlighted his enthusiasm for seeing Archer back in action with the red ball, acknowledging the extended absence and the excitement surrounding his comeback. England, currently leading the five-match series 1-0, is yet to announce the squad for the second Test, scheduled to begin on July 2. Archer’s Test career includes 13 matches with 42 wickets and 1304 runs conceded, showcasing his speed and aggression. Vaughan suggests Archer needs more red-ball experience with Sussex before the Lord’s Test on July 10.
