'Absolutely ludicrous' - pundits react to Archer's extended absence

Simon Doull has criticised Jofra Archer’s omission from England’s Test squad to face New Zealand, calling it "absolutely ludicrous" amid reports that the fast bowler may miss the opening two matches of the series.

The 2019 World Cup winner was allowed to continue playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL playoffs instead of joining up with Brendon McCullum's squad for the first Test.
