No ‘bad blood’ for Archer

THE COACH who played an influential role in the early development of Barbadian-born English fast bowler Jofra Archer says there is no “bad blood” regarding his decision not to play international cricket for the West Indies.

Nhamo Winn, the successful cricket master at the Christ Church Foundation School, where Archer had his first taste of cricket as a teenager, told the daily Guardian newspaper in England that it was a “career decision”.
