Former England bowler Steve Harmison believes Jofra Archer is the "most exciting talent since Kevin Pietersen", with the fast bowler set to make his international return against South Africa.
Archer has been out of action for almost two years with elbow and back injuries, but is hoping to play a key role for England this year in a home Ashes series and their 50-over World Cup defence.
And Harmison, who played 123 times for England across all formats, is excited to see Archer back fit and firing. The 27-year-old made an immediate impact after debuting in 2019, helping England win the World Cup and draw the Ashes 2-2, with Harmison comparing his impact to Pietersen's in 2005 when he helped England win the Ashes for the first time since 1987.
