England’s assertive win over India in the series opener made India concerned about their prep session for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Both the teams want to build up momentums before the T20 World Cup. England, the top-ranked side in T20, are worried about the elbow of their star pacer Jofra Archer. On the other hand, India fretted out when their batting collapsed yesterday. Archer was chosen as the man of the match for taking three wickets.

His elbow that created troubles almost made him miss the tour of India. “It is still a way away, I need to take care of my elbow first before I think about what is going to happen,” Archer told reporters.

Archer also revealed that after arriving in India, he informed the England management that his “arm was not feeling well”. “I didn’t have to say it twice,” he said. “They jumped on it and already started making plans. We are all on the same page.

“So for me in the immediate, I am going to get through the series and then I will do everything in my power to make sure that I am going to the World Cup and the Ashes.”

England’s captain Eoin Morgan praised after their eight-wicket trouncing of India. Archer blended well in the bowling line-up with pacers like Mark Wood and Chris Jordan.

“He is excellent, and I think our bowling unit today again similar to our batting unit has a lot of competition for places,” Morgan said after
