Named in England's World Cup squad ahead of his more experienced colleagues, rookie pacer Jofra Archer Tuesday set his sights on taking the prized wicket of India captain Virat Kohli during the mega event.
The 24-year-old Barbados-born Archer was included in the 15-man England squad
"The best player I faced was Jos Buttler in the nets. He is a 360 (degree) cricketer. He can hit you straight down the ground or over the 'keeper's head. I don't think anywhere is safe with him."
"We play (these guys) twice a (season) in the IPL, so you know their weaknesses, you know their strengths, you know if they can't run between the wickets... it gets you an extra bit of inside information."
He added: "To be honest, I think international cricket is probably the same intensity as the IPL. I think the only thing that changes is the amount of overs (the IPL is a Twenty20 competition)."
