His latest video on Tiktok has gone viral and it is quite relatable to all the viewers. Jofra can be seen padded up and ready to go out in the field but as soon as he gets near to the elevator, the English cricketer realizes that he could potentially get exposed to the virus. Therefore, he heads back to his room- raising awareness among fans.

If things go smooth, Archer might be seen in action against West Indies in June. A stress fracture to his right elbow ruled him out of the IPL. However, as things stand, the Indian Premier League has been postponed for the time being. All cricketing affairs across the globe have been called-off.
