Jofra Archer, who was on fire in the previous Test match of the ongoing three-match Test series, from the very first ball of the innings, has applied a different approach in the third match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
As of now, the seamer has delivered 4 overs for an economy rate of 3.75. Why are there differences between the Jofra Archer in the second Test and the Archer in the third Test?
Does IPL cause trouble for the England pacer's workload?
While most of the England cricketers chose to skip the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) to maintain their focus on their international career, Jofra Archer was an exception who played the entire franchise league with the Rajasthan Royals.
After the conclusion of the IPL 2026 campaign, Sangakkara claimed that the ECB tried to get their premier pacer back as soon as possible, but it was the Royals management who convinced Archer to continue playing in IPL 2026. After representing the Rajasthan Royals in 16 matches, Archer missed the opening match of the three-match Test series against New Zealand.
