News Ton-up Dhawan, Kohli in brief West Indies ‘just another game’ for England’s Archer

CARDIFF: England’s Jofra Archer has insisted it will be “just an- power India to big win other game of cricket” should the Barbados-born fast bowler face his native West Indies in the World Cup. With Archer, who only qualified for England earlier this year, taking an impressive three for 29 in a 106-run win over Bangla- Defending champions Australia lose by 36 runs, crumbling under run pressure desh in Cardiff on Saturday, it seems inconceivable, barring injury, that the tournament hosts leave him out of their side for Friday’s match against the West Indies in Southampton. Archer, whose father is English, was effectively lost to the West Indies when he moved to county side Sussex after overlooking the paceman for the Under-19 World Cup four years ago. “It’s just same as the last game, just another game of cricket,” said Archer. “I know them pretty good. I played with a few of the guys at Under-19, so it will be good to actually play against them this time.” Archer’s ability to routinely top speeds of 90 mph makes him a hugely valuable asset and that speed was on show when a ball that clean bowled Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar flew off the top of the stumps and straight over the boundary without touching the ground at Sophia Gardens. It was a feat that stirred comparisons with some of the quick- est bowlers cricket has known and Archer, asked if he had ever seen anything like it before, replied: “It’s probably the first time.

Sri Lankan fast bowler Pradeep to miss Bangladesh game

LONDON: Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Pradeep will miss their next Cricket World Cup game against Bangladesh in Bristol due to a dislocation and a cut on his -arm finger, the Sri Lankan cricket team said on Sunday. Pradeep was the architect of Sri Lanka’s win against Afghani- stan in Cardiff last week, claiming four for 31 runs. “Pradeep will not take part in Sri Lanka’s game against Bangladesh on Tuesday, as he will need a week’s time to recover from the injury,” team manager Asantha De Mel said in a statement. Sri Lanka have won one game, lost one and their last game against Pakistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. Bangladesh have lost two games and won one so far.
