The Cricket Thread

Some overseas cricketers will be eligible to play for England after living in the country for three years under new rules coming in on 1 January.

The updated England and Wales Cricket Board rules mean, for example, that Sussex all-rounder Jofra Archer will be eligible to play for England next year.

Archer was born in Barbados but has an English father and a British passport.

Under the previous rules he would not have been eligible until the winter of 2022 after a seven-year residency

Must say these types of changes don't sit well with me though 3 years is what the ICC recommend. It was heavily rumoured at the time they were doing it so he'd be available for the world cup.

Has serious pace though, about time England had some pace like that. Scares any batsman - don't think there was really any need to bowl him for 44 overs with another test match coming up in a few days.
