Australia batter Steve Smith slammed a British media outlet after they took a jibe at him after Jofra Archer was ruled out of the Ashes 2023. He said them to remind him when the pacer dismissed him in the Test cricket.

In what was a major blow for England, Jofra Archer was ruled out of the Ashes 2023 and the rest of the summer season due to the recurrence of a stress fracture to his right elbow. The pacer was expected to play a huge role in the series considering what he did the last time he played in the Ashes.

Jofra Archer made Australia batters work and tested them with his impeccable lines and lengths, more often with the shorts balls. He injured Steve Smith with a nasty bouncer and was the most threatening bowler in the series with 22 wickets in that series.
