Jofra Archer's breach of bio-secure protocols could have been a 'disaster' for England's summer, says director of cricket Ashley Giles.
Jofra Archer's breach of the bio-secure protocols could have been a"disaster" for England's summer, says director of cricket Ashley Giles.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced England to hold the three-Test series against West Indies, and subsequent tours by Ireland, Pakistan and possibly Australia in secure locations at the Ageas Bowl and Emirates Old Trafford. Giles said Archer was not at home for a"particularly long period of time" and that he visited someone who has since returned a negative coronavirus test.
"There will be a disciplinary process to go through," said former England spinner Giles."That's ongoing. That's an employment matter and we'll settle that in good time. Asked about Archer's availability to play in the final match of the series, England coach Chris Silverwood told BBC Sport:"There's ongoing conversations and I'll be speaking to Ashley.
