Manchester, Dt
England fast bowler Joffra Archer has been sacked from the squad for the second Test against the West Indies by the England and Wales Cricket Board, following the protocol of the Covid-17 to meet his girlfriend. Archer ran to meet his girlfriend without telling anyone. Due to the current Corona epidemic, England has strictly ordered all its players not to go anywhere without permission until the series is over, which Archer violated.
The England cricketers were to travel to Manchester together after the completion of the first Southampton Test against the West Indies. Meanwhile, Archer ran to meet his girlfriend at his home in Brighton, 150 kilometers away. Archer's move puts his fellow cricketers as well as others in contact with him at risk of contracting the corona.
Archer will now have to stay quarantined in the hotel room for five days as per the ECB order. In the meantime, he will have two Covid-12 tests and will be allowed to join the team only if he comes back negative. Archer apologized unconditionally to all for his irresponsible behavior.
Centennial partnership between Danley-Stokes
In the second Test of the series, which began in Manchester, West Indies captain Holder won the toss and elected to bat. England did not have a good start and the opener Burns was dismissed for 12, Crowley for 0 and Captain Rutt for 5. The first two wickets went to Chess and the second to Joseph. However, the pair of Sibley and Stokes recorded a century partnership that prevented England from collapsing. Both batsmen took England's score from 21/4 to over 300.
