'You don't want it to get messy' - Stokes defends handling of Archer

England Test captain Ben Stokes has defended Jofra Archer's absence from England's side to face New Zealand at Lord's, saying that the "landscape of cricket has changed".

Despite being on a central contract, Archer has not been included in the England side for the first Test, starting on Thursday live on Sky Sports, and was instead allowed to continue playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL playoffs.
