The absence of Jofra Arches makes former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull annoyed and disgusted at once. While he was talking with the former England captain, Nasser Hussain, Doull spilled out his dissatisfaction over Jofra Archer, as he prioritized a franchise league over national duties.
“It's ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous. How are you paying this guy up to a million pounds a year, and he's not available for your first test match? It is absolutely ludicrous,” the former New Zealand cricketer said during the conversation with Nasser Hussain for the Sky Sports Segment.
What will New Zealand do if they face similar situation?
In response, Doull mentioned that despite the tight schedules and multiple commitments, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, and Matt Henry did the preparations with the red ball in between the games.
Doull put a finger on the ECB as well
Doull emphasized that there was ample amount of time for Jofra Archer to get himself prepared for the Test series. He questions the ECB’s intention as well as the board’s duty to keep its key players prepared for upcoming assignments.
