Ian Salisbury, who is the Sussex Head Coach, said that the right-arm pacer signing a contract extension is great news. He added that Archer is already a legend at the club and it’s valuable to have a player of his stature around the club.
“It’s great news that Jof has signed an extension, he is Sussex through and through and everyone loves having him here,” Salisbury told.
“He is already a legend at this club, so it is massively important to have someone of his stature around the place. Jof has achieved so much in world and international cricket since he made his debut with us in 2016. We love having him around the place. Even when he is not playing, he is such a massive character and an extremely important member of our squad,” he added.
It’s been a difficult few months not being able to represent Sussex – Jofra Archer
Archer, who made his debut for England National Cricket Team in 2019, has been out of action for a very long time due to his elbow problems. He said that he is happy to extend his contract and was hopeful of delivering match-winning performances for the county.
“It’s been a difficult few months not being able to represent Sussex when the plan had been to return to the Sharks team after my elbow injury, so I am really happy to extend my contract and hope to be able to contribute to more Sussex victories in the future,” quoted Archer.
