World Cup 2019: Team-wise one blunder made by the selectors

2. England – Jofra Archer’s exclusion

Jofra Archer is an aggressive all-rounder who can hit the big shots and is known to bowl fiery spells at a rapid pace. Born in Barbados, he decided to change his base and shifted to England. When the ECB decided to relax the rules on expats it was expected that the all-rounder will finally be a part of the World Cup squad. The young lad who is yet to make his international debut has already shown signs of brilliance in the IPL, BBL and the Country cricket.

The English team had transformed themselves in limited-overs cricket after the debacle in the 2015 World Cup. They are one of the favourites to win the upcoming event with their mighty batting lineup. But one thing the team lacks is an out and out fast bowler who can get wickets with both the new and old ball. And Jofra Archer was the perfect man to fill the gaps in the team. He should’ve been the preferred choice and should’ve made it to the provisional squad.

But England selectors have picked him for Pakistan series and his performance in those matches will determine his place eventually. In case, Archer fails to make it to the World Cup squad, England might also lose a chance to win their maiden title.
