Jofra Archer faces racial abuse, one more time
I will not allow anything to pass, so I have forwarded my complaints to the ECB and that will go through the correct process. Since Wilfried Zaha, the Crystal Palace footballer, was abused by a 12-year-old online I drew a line and I will not allow anything to pass, so I have forwarded on my complaints to the ECB and that will go through the correct process.
Yes, I made a mistake in not driving to Old Trafford directly from Southampton between matches. But people make mistakes. I know what I did was an error of judgment and I have suffered the consequences of that. I accept I put the other guys at risk. I did not follow the advice and therefore apologized to my team-mates, to the West Indies team, and to everyone involved in the series. But I haven't committed a crime and I want to start feeling myself again.
I found I was struggling for motivation in the circumstances when it came to returning to bowling in the nets. When I walked outside of my room for the first time since being placed into self-isolation for breaking the Covid-19 protocols, I heard the cameras clicking with every single step I took.
The whole spectacle made me feel uneasy. I know what I did was an error of judgment and I have suffered the consequences of that. I spoke briefly to the doctor about how I'm feeling and also to Ben Stokes on Monday night. Ben tried to advise me on how to deal with being in the spotlight of international sport. He vowed to back me and support me. Now, I need to be 100 percent mentally right so that I can throw myself into my cricket this week.
