Maybe they'll pick a second string attack for them.
I see Archer is out for the summer.

He actually - still - averages slightly better as keeper than as pure batsman : 37 and change versus just under 37 - though the contrast is less than it used to be thanks to his blazing 2022. Concern might be that having seemingly "cracked it" at number five he's now being called upon to reset again : but as suggested above , any change to the line-up meant someone had to make an adjustment.
