"This week has showed me that whatever I do will be a focus of attention. If I sneeze too hard it’s going to be headlines ...

... We knew we had to go to Manchester via certain points. I didn’t. To me, home is home. A safe place. I picked some stuff up, dropped some stuff off. It was no big deal ..."

It is odd to change a winning team, however indifferently one or two members may have performed. Yet this is being suggested. It is possible that Jofra Archer, who until this week had not played a first-class match for 1,501 days – four years and a month – is to be pitched into the England team, replacing a bowler who played at Headingley. He has not played a Test since 2020 ...
In a sane world, Jofra Archer would not play for England all summer
"Jofra Archer is in line for a first Test appearance in more than four years after being named in England's 15-man squad for next week's match against India at Edgbaston ..."
