Archer was subject to racist abuse over his jewellery and watch.

Jofra Archer | GettyEngland speedster Jofra Archer once again faced racist abuse on Instagram as a netizen commented his jewellery and watch was 'probably stolen.'

Archer has been coping the racist abuse on social media ever since his international debut last year, but things have worsened for him after he was found guilty of violating the bi-secure protocol during the England-West Indies Test series in July.

Nonetheless, Archer certainly knows how to take the social media trolls to task as he exposed one of them publicly on Friday (September 11).

He shared a screenshot of a message full of racial abuse sent to him on Instagram and wrote: "Hey guys can you help me to report this page please."

Jofra’s antics saw the troll quickly sending an apology message, saying he was drunk and upset with  Australia's collapse in the opening ODI against England.

"Would like to send my full apologies with huge regret about some outrageous and ridiculous comments posted last night up late and drunk watching the cricket, mad at the Aussies collapse..no excuses disgraceful behaviour apologies once again," the troll messaged Archer.

Archer went onto share the screenshot of the apology on his Instagram handle and wrote: “If you are thinking that when you’re drunk you were always thinking about it".

It seemed the person, calling himself Josh Bell, later deleted his account.
