Jofra Archer has been warned there will be ‘no friendship’ shown towards him when he comes up against the West Indies players he left behind to make his career with England. Archer, integral to England’s dramatic World Cup triumph last year immediately after qualifying for the land of his father, will be facing West Indies for the first time in Test cricket when the teams meet at the Ageas Bowl on July 8. And his fellow Barbadian Kemar Roach yesterday hinted at a less than warm reunion with Archer when West Indies defend the Wisden Trophy they won by out-gunning England in the Caribbean at the start of last year. Jofra Archer has been warned there will be no friendships when he faces West Indies on July 8‘Jofra made his decision and he’s done a fantastic job for England so far but there will be no friendships during this series,’ said the leader of West Indies attack. We will devise a plan for our batsmen to counter him and I’m looking forward to that battle.
