England’s star fast bowler Jofra Archer shared a screenshot of racist abuse he received on social media and asked authorities to take action against the offender.

Archer, who played a major role in England’s maiden ODI World Cup triumph last year, said he was baffled by the abuse.

“I (have) given a lot of thought about reacting to this and I hope no one else has to deal with stuff like this on a regular basis, it isn’t ever acceptable and should be addressed properly in my opinion,” the 24-year-old said on Instagram.

“I will never understand how people feel so freely to say these things to another human being, it baffles me,” he said.
