England cricketer Jofra Archer finds lost World Cup medal

LONDON: England bowler Jofra Archer has found his precious World Cup medal while searching his ‘guest bedroom’ after revealing he had lost it during moving flats.

“Randomly searching the guest bedroom and boom,” Archer wrote as caption for a photo of his recovered World Cup 2019 medal. Jofra Archer said he had been looking for the World Cup medal in his new flat for over a week without any success.

Archer said he had the World Cup 2019 medal hanging off a portrait and that he was not able to see the medal thereafter he moved to his new place. “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,” Jofra Archer said.

“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.”

Jofra Archer rose to prominence at the international level with his exploits in the 2019 World Cup for England. The pacer picked up 20 wickets and finished among the top three wicket takers in the quadrennial tournament.

Archer helped make English cricket history when he bowled the super over in which England beat New Zealand to clinch their first men’s World Cup title. New Zealand scored 15 runs in chase of 16 in the Super Over but England were declared winners based on the controversial boundary-count rule which is no longer part of the rulebook.

The 25-year-old received a winner’s medal which he admitted was misplaced it when he moved house. After a sleepless night of worry for Archer’s fans, relief finally came when he posted a picture of the medal explaining he found it in the guest bedroom.
