Jofra Archer a revelation West Indies cricket cannot afford

There is an instant buzz every time Hobart Hurricanes take the field in the Big Bash League 2018. No, it isn't because they boast the most friendly Australian skipper of all time - George Bailey, in case you are wondering - holding the reins or because at 27, D'Arcy Short has discovered a newfound love for clubbing the ball into the stands. It is because a crowd favourite, unsurprisingly from the West Indies, Jofra Archer, plays for them.

Whether it is stifling a run-chase with pin-point yorkers or exciting the crowd with a 150kmph hour rocket or snapping catches out of thin air, Archer has managed to stand very close to the headlines if not hog them completely. Truth be told, Archer is caught between two teams - West Indies and England.
