England pacer Jofra Archer turned up for a Karnataka team during a two-day practice match against County side Sussex at the KSCA Ground in Alur, near Bengaluru. Archer, who plays County cricket for Sussex, played as a substitute for the Karnataka team filled with U-19, U-23 and senior players. For the unversed, Sussex are in Bengaluru, India for a 10-day pre-season camp. They are expected to play a couple of practice games in Bengaluru games before returning to the South Coast.

With Sussex opting to bowl in the practice game, Archer didn't bowl on the opening day of the match. However, he turned up as a substitute player for Karnataka, taking two wickets.

Archer, who hasn't played competitive cricket for nearly 12 months, looked in good rhythm as he dismissed two of his Sussex teammates and one of them was an absolute ripper.
