“Last week in practice there was a spell where Oliver (Robinson) had bowled, Jayden bowled and then Jofra came into the middle and bowled — and he came marching out and bowled exceptionally quick,” Farbrace was quoted as saying by The Telegraph on Tuesday.
Farbrace added he was mighty pleased to see Archer uprooting the stumps of Oli Carter a couple of times in the last few outings.
Archer, who had been laid low by elbow and back injuries since 2019, joined Sussex on their pre-season tour to Bengaluru and played a few friendly games alongside Robinson and Seales since his return.

Farbrace added that Archer’s workload will be closely monitored and managed after the T20 World Cup, which might see him being exempted from Championship action.
