The cricketer has said some of the social media criticism he received had been racist and felt uncertain about taking the field on Friday for the final test, at old trafford. “I need to be 100 percent mentally right so that I can throw myself into my cricket this week” Archer wrote in his Daily mail column. “If I play and don’t bowl 90 miles an hour, it is going to be news, If I don’t bowl 90 miles an hour for long enough, it is going to be news” the pace added. Archer further said that England can manage without him as it has enough bowling sources.

“I give 100 percent every time I go out there, I don’t want to go out there unless I can guarantee doing that” he said who was fined for breaching the rules. He was also issued with a written warning. “Some of the abuse I have taken over the past few days on Instagram has been racist and I have decided enough is enough… So I have forwarded my complaints to the ECB” said Archer who added that he haven’t committed a crime.

“I know what I did was an error of judgement and I have suffered the consequences of that. I haven’t committed a crime and I want to start feeling myself again” Jofra said in his statement.

“Some of the abuse I have taken over the past few days on Instagram has been racist and I have decided that enough is enough.”
