Jofra Archer has been backed to play a starring role for England in the Ashes and at the World Cup by his former housemate.
Archer is back in action for the Mumbai Indians at the IPL after a minor setback with yet more elbow surgery in Belgium, but he has been tipped to have a similar effect as he did in 2019 on the England side this summer.
Saqib Mahmood spent a few weeks living with Archer in Barbados at the back end of 2022 as the pair both fought back from injuries. And he reckons as long as Archer is smart about his workload, he can once again be a huge threat in international cricket this year.
