England cricket team is on tour of New Zealand these days. England lost by an innings in the first Test against the visiting team. This defeat did not bother English players as much as a fan act with Jofra Archer made him emotional. In fact, when the players were returning after the match, a Kiwi fan on the side of the boundary line made a racist comment on Archer. Archer did not say anything at that time, but on Monday, the England fast bowler tweeted and expressed his grief.

Archer, a 24-year-old England fast bowler, wrote on his Twitter handle that, today, "I faced a disappointing racial comment when I was struggling to save my team from defeat. However, the fans here were quite good, except one. Not only this, while talking to Cricinfo, Archer openly told that the person made fun of his color".

As soon as Archer's tweet surfaced, the New Zealand Cricket Board apologized to the visiting player without any delay. New Zealand Cricket tweeted, writing that, is shocked and disappointed to hear about Jofra Archer. England cricket teams can be our rivals, but they are also our friends and racist abuse is never justified. New Zealand Cricket NZC said it does not tolerate any form of misconduct and promises to identify and arrest the person.
