Jofra Archer Twitter: England pacer had predicted Cricket South Africa's downfall in 2013

Jofra Archer has done it once again as he rightly predicted the downfall of Cricket South Africa way back in December 2013. Recently, on Thursday, September 10, the South African government suspended Cricket South Africa and took control of the nation’s cricketing actions and teams, citing maladministration and malpractice that have taken place since at least December 2019.

The decision to suspend Cricket South Africa is a direct breach of ICC regulations that can very well place South Africa on the brink of being banned from international cricket. In July 2019, the ICC had suspended Zimbabwe and Nepal due to government interference. However, after a board meeting in October in Dubai, both the nations were re-instated as the ICC members.

As soon as the England vs Australia 2020 ODI series concludes, Jofra Archer will fly to the UAE and join Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2020. The 25-year-old will lead the Royals' bowling attack and his performances will be crucial in determining how far the Rajasthan Royals go in the IPL 2020. Rajasthan Royals will begin their IPL 2020 campaign against the Chennai Super Kings on September 22 in Sharjah.
