"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." Archer said to BBC.

Archer was just a veteran of mere two ODIs when he played his first World Cup match. In fact, he wasn’t picked even in the initial World Cup squad. However, he replaced David Willey and enjoyed a sensational run in the tournament. He scalped 20 wickets from the 11 matches and the highest wicket-taker of his side. He even bowled the crucial super over against New Zealand in the finals to help England clinch their maiden 50-over World Cup title.
