IT’S been the first full season of county cricket Jofra Archer dreamed of and the Sussex bowler received the cherry on top of his cake last week when he was awarded his County Cap.
The 22-year-old was presented with his cap, number 144, during the lunch interval of Sussex’s final County Championship match of the season against Nottinghamshire at Hove last Wednesday.
The seamer made his debut for the county against Pakistan last year and took an impressive 35 wickets across all three formats in the latter part of the season.
This year though, Archer has gone from strength to strength surpassing 60 wickets in Division Two, significantly more than his more experienced strike partner Chris Jordan.
The youngster has also proven his worth with the bat in 2017 becoming the first Sussex player since Vasbert Drakes to take 50 wickets and score 500 runs in a County Championship campaign.
