Jofra Archer was born in Barbados and was among the most promising youngsters in the West Indies at the U-19 level. The seamer suffered a serious back injury during his u-19 days which forced him to go out of action for some time. However, after his recovery, the West Indies Cricket Board failed to utilize his talent.
Archer began playing the Big Bash League for Hobart Hurricanes and caught everyone’s attention with his serious pace and athleticism. Being continuously ignored by his home Cricket Board, Archer shifted his base to play county cricket and was welcomed by the ECB. The speedster went on to become an integral part of English Cricket history as he bowled the nerve-wracking super over in the World Cup 2019 final and helped his team to win their first ever 50-over World Cup.
