West Indies 'just another game' for England's Archer

England's Jofra Archer has insisted it will be "just another game of cricket" should the Barbados-born fast bowler face his native West Indies in the World Cup.

With Archer, who only qualified for England earlier this year, taking an impressive three for 29 in a 106-run win over Bangladesh in Cardiff on Saturday, it seems inconceivable, barring injury, that the tournament hosts leave him out of their side for Friday's match against the West Indies in Southampton.

Archer, whose father is English, was effectively lost to the West Indies when he moved to county side Sussex after overlooking the paceman for the Under-19 World Cup four years ago.

"It's just same as the last game, just another game of cricket," said Archer.

"I know them pretty good. I played with a few of the guys at Under-19, so it will be good to actually play against them this time."
"I've seen it go for six off a helmet before. But this is the first time I've seen it go off the stumps."

"It's nice to see but I'm much more concerned about bowling well. If I bowl at just 90 mph and I'm bowling well, I'd be much more happier than bowling fast and going for six or seven an over."
He added: "A lot of the balls that were short weren't really supposed to be short but they still carried through. If I had the choice I'd take this (kind of pitch) for the rest of the tournament, if we could get it."
