HEAD COACH Matthew Mott believes the long-awaited return of Jofra Archer makes England “enormously better” going into the T20 World Cup next month.

The fast bowler is back on the scene after being sidelined for 14 months with elbow and back injuries but has yet to prove his fitness.

Archer was robbed of some vital game-time as England’s opening encounter of a four-match T20 series with Pakistan at Headingley on Wednesday was washed out due to heavy rain.
