England captain Jos Buttler preached patience with Jofra Archer despite an impressive display by the seamer on his long-awaited return to international cricket during their 23-run T20 victory over Pakistan at Edgbaston.
After the Vitality T20 international series opener at Headingley on Wednesday was washed out, this marked Archer’s first appearance on the international stage in 14 months, but he had not played for his country on English soil since 2020 after an injury-hit few years largely due to a troublesome right elbow.
