England's head coach Brendon McCullum was all praise for Jofra Archer and his four-wicket haul in the third ODI of the three-match series between England and South Africa. Archer was adjudged the Player of the Match award in England's record-shattering 342-run win.
McCullum also shed light on the reason behind easing Archer back into the mix instead of hastening his recovery process. He said that the team management wanted to provide every chance to the pacer to participate in the "biggest series" for England, referring the upcoming Ashes.
The former Kiwi cricketer underscored the management's plan in handling Archer's workload. He concluded by admitting that Archer will be a critical player for England when they play Australia Down Under.
