Jofra Archer returns back in IPL auction, available for 2023 season

England pacer Jofra Archer has made a comeback to the mega auction of the IPL which is scheduled to take place on February 12 & 13, according to a Cricbuzz report. The right-arm bowler has kept his base price of INR 2 crore.

Though Archer's participation in this year's edition of the IPL is under dark clouds, considering his present injury status.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed with the BCCI that he is willing to feature in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

"The ECB has registered Archer for the auction with a view to potential participation in 2023 and 2024, as due to his current injury it is unlikely that he can participate in IPL 2022," the BCCI wrote to the franchises.

PSL 2022: David Willey shows nerves of steel to win see-saw game against Quetta Gladiators

Englishman David Willey showed nerves of steel in the death overs for the Multan Sultans to escape by the barest of margins against Quetta Gladiators on Monday, 31 January. The left arm swing bowler picked three wickets from his final two overs in the game under tremendous pressure to give Multan Sultans an unlikely victory in the Pakistan Super League. At a time when local stars like Shanawaz Dahani and Imran Khan were being picked apart by some exceptional shot making from Iftikar Ahmed and Sohail Tanvir, Willey took out crucial wickets at the right time to make the difference while defending 175 runs in 20 overs. The game see-sawed throughout the second half as three bowlers from Sultans (Willey, Imran Tahir and Khushdil Shah) took three wickets each and put Quetta under pressure, while others like Dahani and Khan proved to be extremely expensive to give the pressure away. The two went for a total of 76 runs from their combined 5 overs and if it were not for Willey, Sultans would have lost this game by one over to spare. It was heart in the mouth stuff in the final over, when two well struck shots fell right inside the boundary line with Multan defending 8 off the final over, and it left Quetta captain Sarfaraz Ahmed fuming on the touchline . Earlier in the day, Multan lost the services of their captain Mohammad Rizwan early, who was dismissed for a duck for the first time in 37 innings. It was only due to the belligerence of Shan Masood (88 off 58 balls) that Multan were able to stay alive. While the middle order failed to do much, Tim David’s 28 off 16 balls got them over the edge of 170 runs that seems to be safe on the turning surface. This was Multan’s third win in a row and they are maintaining the top position in the league with a healthy runrate of +0.476.
