Pacer spearhead Jofra Archer, who played an essential role in England's World Cup victory has now lost the medal he received after winning the cup.

Archer lost the medal while moving his house and said that he had "gone mad" looking for it.

He said: “I had it hanging off a portrait someone did for me and sent to me, I had my medal hanging on that.

“I moved flat and the picture is on the new wall but there’s no medal. I turned the house upside down for about a week but I still haven’t managed to find it.

“I know it should be in the house so I will keep eyes out for it but I’ve gone mad looking for it already.”

He revealed these details on a radio show.

During the World Cup campaign, Archer scalped 20 wickets at 23.05 the most taken by any member of the champions’ squad.

Archer had bowled the decisive super over in the finals and asked when he knew he’d been chosen for the Super Over, replied: “Pretty late. I wasn’t sure until I had to go down there and warm up.

“That doesn’t mean I didn’t want it, I just didn’t think I was in a position to volunteer. I was just coming into the team, I’d played the least amount of games in the squad. I didn’t think it was my time to volunteer.

“It was the only Super Over of the whole tournament, I never actually thought about it or planned for the situation, it just happened.”
