Former England captain Nasser Hussain has expressed his displeasure with England pacer Jofra Archer who was dominated out from the 2nd Test towards West Indies in Manchester after being discovered responsible of breaching the bio-secure protocols. Archer will now start 5 days of isolation and will endure two Covid-19 assessments on this interval, which have to check destructive earlier than his self-isolation interval is lifted.
“It is naive and silly to get it wrong because of the effort that’s gone in, and the health risk – this is a serious illness and you cannot risk infecting anyone,” Nasser Hussain advised Sky Sports. “We don’t know if it was just a naivety from Jofra or if it was something more serious. He has apologised, it is a very unusual situation that we all find ourselves in and he’s made a mistake.”

“His team-mates will be disappointed, as will his captain Joe Root,” he stated. “(But) cricketers just move on very quickly. More importantly for Joe Root, you park. Once someone’s done something like this on a Test match morning, you completely park that and leave it with management.
“Joe Root will be focusing on the toss and the team. There are some difficult decisions for Joe Root, not what you need as a captain on the first morning of the Test,” he added.

Archer in a press release apologised for his actions. In a press release, the pacer stated: “I am extremely sorry for what I have done. I have put, not only myself, but the whole team and management in danger. I fully accept the consequences of my actions, and I want to sincerely apologise to everyone in the bio-secure bubble.”
He added: “It deeply pains me to be missing the Test match, especially with the series poised. I feel like I have let both teams down, and again I am sorry.”
