England limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan said it was "great" to have Jofra Archer back in the squad to face Australia as the fast bowler prepares for his first white-ball international since last year's World Cup final. England, the 50-over world champions, face Australia in the first of three Twenty20 matches in Southampton on Friday before the arch-rivals contest a three-match one-day international series in Manchester later this month. Archer only made his England debut in May last year but just weeks later Morgan entrusted him with bowling the decisive Super Over in a dramatic World Cup final win over New Zealand at Lord's. Since then Archer, labelled a "remarkable talent" by England national selector Ed Smith, has been confined to Test duty. "It's great to have him back," Morgan told a conference call on Thursday.
"He's one of our match-winners and to have another one in your team is great -- he's a huge asset." But the skipper said it was important England managed the "level of expectation" surrounding the 25-year-old Sussex quick.
