Thank you for your overwhelming support in helping the people of India. This wouldn’t be possible without you. Jai Hind,” she wrote.

Archer not worried about getting into English Test side; waiting for marquee India series

English paceman Jofra Archer is not worried about getting into the Test team this summer, especially straightaway after recovering from his elbow injury. Playing for Sussex in the County Championship 2021, Archer thinks that he has still got time up his sleeves to try and force his way into the England side by the time the English home summer kicks in. “If I am in [the English Test side] I will be happy, if not I will just have to take that, no real reason to worry over spilt milk,” Archer said at an end of the day’s play interview to Sussex’s Youtube channel. Archer in his comeback game picked two crucial wickets of Kent in opener Daniel Bell-Drummond and fellow teammate from England Zak Crawley. “I have still got few more games to put into and have some confidence in the arm, so for me, everything is straight right now,” Archer said about his plans to get into the England team before the prized five-match series against India begins in August this year. Saying that it was a nice feeling to be back at Sussex, the 26-year-old confessed, “I would much rather have a game here after my injury than somewhere else.” Archer was given short spells of 3-4 overs at the Hove County Ground and he was lethal in them, bouncing people on the ground, nipping past the edges and even threatening with an odd yorker. He ended up with figures of 2/29 from his 13 overs. Asked if short spells are his thing, the Barbados born said, It’s all tactics wise.” “Somedays you might have four-seamers (Sussex in this game had three only) and then one of them can go for longer spells considering the fact that there are three other bowlers who will cover-up. And it also depends on the wicket. If it is a 400-500 wicket then longer spells become important,” he added.

ICC considering to increase number of teams in World T20: Reports

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering having 20 teams in the 2024 edition of the World T20 as per a report in ESPNCricinfo. The 2021 edition of the World T20 that is scheduled to take place in India will have 16 teams while the next edition scheduled to be held in Australia will also have the same number of sides. The 2024 World T20 can understandably have four groups of five teams each in the initial stage. This change can further enhance the chances of an increased number of teams (from 10 to 14) battling out in the 50-over World Cup. ICC further plans to get cricket in the Olympics and also return for the Intercontinental Cup, for the Associate nations (with a different name). The ICC had earlier confirmed that they have plans of increasing the number of teams in the women’s competitions as well. The discussions have taken place in recent Chief Executives' Committee (CEC) meetings. The Intercontinental Cup will give a boost to the Associate members to play more First-Class cricket while the game’s return to the Olympics will be financially beneficial. England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Ian Watmore has also backed the return of cricket in the Olympics earlier. "We want to help grow the game globally and believe cricket’s inclusion within the Olympic Games would provide a wonderful opportunity to showcase our sport domestically and take it to new audiences around the world,” he had said. "The ECB will enthusiastically support efforts to secure this outcome."

Jofra Archer confident of retention by Royals in Mega IPL auction

Rajasthan Royals premier pacer Jofra Archer believes that he is going to be retained by the franchise in the Mega IPL auction scheduled to take place after completion of the 2021 edition of the league. The speedster believes that he could be fitter and more relaxed for the next season having missed this suspended season so far due to injury. “It’s terrible in India at the moment, and if I did go to India, I would have been home early anyway,” Archer told Sussex’ Youtube channel in an interview after the first day of his Championship game against Kent. The Caribbean man further said, “If it [IPL] reschedules this year, hopefully, I would be able to go.” Talking about his relationship with the cash-rich league’s franchise, the 26-year-old said, “I have now been at Rajasthan for the last three and next year the mega auction is coming up. It is more than likely that they would want me fit and relaxed and ready to perform in the next season.” Revealing the reasons behind his decision of pulling out of this year’s league, the Sussex player said, “It was a bit of me and a bit of England as well. Obviously, both Rajasthan and England supported me in my decision. It was a hard decision to not go to India, a bit unpredictable as well.” Saying that he could have gone but wasn’t sure of the number of games he would have played, Archer emphasised that he didn’t want to go just for the sake of going and not performing to his potential. “In hindsight, we can say that Covid probably would have saved me. But you don’t want to go hoping, if I am going, I am going to give my best.” “And if IPL doesn’t happen this year then we get a fresh start and hopefully, I am there and hopefully, Stokes is there as well,” added the World Cup winner who has so far played 35 games for the Northern India franchise in the IPL, picking up 46 wickets and scoring 195 runs. Playing for Sussex in his comeback First-Class game after the elbow injury that happened prior to IPL, the Barbados born took two wickets and was one of the chief architects in Kent's debacle, getting all out for 145 at County Ground Hove.
