There’s a buzz around England’s Jofra Archer as he’s gone into the Big Bash League (BBL) draft. Reports say the draft for this year’s BBL is on June 19 and he’s in. Unlike Ollie Pope and Jacob Bethell who will only play a few games, Jofra is available for the whole season.
This will be Archer’s third time in the BBL, he’s back after a 7 year absence. He first played with the Hobart Hurricanes in the 2017-18 season and had a great run, taking 34 wickets in 2 years.

Archer is currently sidelined with a thumb injury and will miss the first Test against England starting June 20 but the head selector says he’s recovering well and might be ready for the second Test. If he gets back to form and performs well he’ll be a key player for England in the Ashes.
