Jofra Archer’s domestic teams enjoyed a humorous exchange after the Rajasthan Royals congratulated “our pace machine” on his World Cup selection.
The 24-year-old pace bowler was one of 15 to be selected for England, who will also host the 2019 50-over tournament along with Wales.
Archer recently starred for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League – “HE’S IN!!!!! Our pace machine is heading to the @icc #CWC19!” the Royals’ Twitter account posted.
However the Royals aren’t the only side the Barbados-born star has appeared for. Archer also plays for Sussex, and has starred for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League too.
“‘Your’ pace machine…?” Sussex’s Twitter account replied, adding a couple of emoji for good measure while the Hurricanes got involved as well.
“Play nicely guys,” Archer replied, before Sussex and the Royals posted memes to suggest they had settled their differences.
England will kick their World Cup campaign off on Thursday 30 May against South Africa at the Kia Oval in London.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
