Jofra Archer”s fairy tale inclusion has been one of the talking points this World Cup. Though he represented England in the Ireland and Pakistan series, he wasn”t primarily considered among the 15-member squad for the tournament. However, the officials included him in the place of David Willey and this move proved to be a fear factor for the opposition right from the start.
He made his entire talking with the ball in the World Cup. Experts and analysts are in full praise for him as his spells played a crucial role in booking a semi-final berth for the English side. 19 wickets at an economy of 4.61 is certainly one of the most pleasing factors for any team management and Jofra hasn”t failed to show his class.
In the latest interview to the ICC, Jofra was seen speaking about being calm during the game and how it helped him get the best of him and the team. “I”m really calm. You got that feeling, even when we were at breakfast, I don”t think anyone looked nervous. I might be wrong. Everyone just looked focused from the time we got into the ground. It”s those little things that make you think the guys are ready.”

Jofra”s unplayable yorkers were enough to trouble even the batsmen with the highest standards. Without his efforts, it would have been difficult to book a finals spot as he dismissed Glenn Maxwell in one of the most crucial moments of the game. Needless to say that Jofra”s participation across T20 leagues in the World played a crucial spot in earning a World Cup squad.Â
Jofra is all set to represent the English side in the final at the Lord”s. Speaking on his team”s performance and mindset on the final, he said, “I”m just glad the team is doing well. I could be doing terribly but as long as the team is winning, I”m alright. It”s been mixed feelings at Lord”s. Sometimes I do ok, sometimes I don”t do as well as I”d like. Hopefully, Sunday will go England”s way, not just my way but England”s way.”
Can Jofra deliver that dream spell needed for their maiden World Cup? All eyes on him and the top order for the much awaited final on Sunday.Â
