Who Is Jofra Archer? What Country Is Jofra Archer From?
Jofra Archer is a player for the English National cricket team. Considered by many as the "Weapon X" in England's 2019 Cricket World Cup victory, the bowling all-rounder has shown potential with both bat and ball.
Born in Bridgetown, Barbados, Jofra's official date of birth is listed as 1 April 1995. Growing up in the Caribbean nation, he received his primary level education from Hilda Skeene Primary and later attended the Christ Church Foundation School.
Showing excellent skills in cricket, the young player was selected to play for West Indies' national under-19 team. However, he was not able to participate in the world cup.
After facing failure early in his career, the talented cricketer shifted to Sussex, England. He tried to get selected in England's national team but was left disappointed again. The law stated a player must reside in the country for a minimum of seven years before becoming eligible for selection.
Meanwhile, he played for Sussex and made a reputation for himself as a star of the T20 format. In November 2018, new legislation reduced the period of residency to three years after which Jofra was allowed to play for team England.
A proud Englishman by nationality now, his career has only flourished after that.
Career Stats, IPL Salary, Net Worth
Although Jofra's career with the English team started only in 2019, he had already begun playing professionally since 2016. Over the years, he has been a part of all formats of cricket, including Tests, ODIs, and T20s. He has performed well in all, with 22 wickets from 4 Tests, 23 wickets in 14 ODIs, and two wickets in 2 T20Is.
Further, he has also played leagues like BBL and IPL. Jofra has been a valuable asset in IPL due to his consistency and ability to take wickets. He has already taken 26 wickets in IPL from 21 games.
In 2018, Jofra was auctioned in IPL by Rajasthan Royals, where he made earnings of £800,000 (over $1 million). With his over the edge performance, the cricketer's IPL salary must have increased significantly in 2019.
From his cricketing career, Jofra has already secured a net worth of nearly $3 million, and it is set to amplify in the coming years.
Seen With Mystery Woman, Plans On Getting Married?
While Jofra Archer likes to enjoy his privacy, he is not immune to the eagle-eyed vision of the media. Though he is not married as of October 2019, the Barbados native seems to have an active dating life.
A few days after winning the 2019 Cricket World Cup in July, the champion player was seen celebrating his team's victory twerking with a mystery woman in Barbados. The woman, whose name was later revealed as Druanna Butler, turned out to be from Jofra's hometown.

Family Info, Parents, Whereabouts Of Biological Father
Apart from his alleged girlfriend and passion for cricket, Jofra has a special place in his heart for one more thing: his family.
