Jofra Archer makes irrefutable case for World Cup ... but who will miss out?

Why is a case still being made for Archer after the squad have already been named.

There is even a case for him to replace a seamer.

Indeed, so compelling was the evidence that even the last resistance to Archer's inclusion - the England bowlers whose position he threatens - appear to have been won over. Liam Plunkett, who bowled pretty nicely himself, admitted Archer was "a class act" whose inclusion would make England "a better team". At this stage, any other view would be flat-earthist.


From my understanding and I might be wrong, a player should only be replaced due to injury.

I guess Jimbo and others could still make a case.

“my understanding and I might be wrong, a player should only be replaced due to injury. “


You are wrong ...final squads have not been named and the preliminary squad can be changed.
