    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, May 8 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> &nbsp;Former skipper Andrew Flintoff believes that England should include all-rounder Jofra Archer at any cost in the 15-member squad for the World Cup beginning at the end of this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Archer, who is not in the preliminary World Cup squad, impressed in his first two England appearances as he took three wickets and constantly bowled in excess of 90mph.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 24-year-old can force his way into the 15 for the showpiece event if he manages to perform well during the five-match ODI series against Pakistan.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He&#39;s got to be in,&quot; Flintoff was quoted as saying by BBC. &quot;Who I would get rid of? Anyone. He&#39;s brilliant,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his T20I debut against Pakistan on Sunday, Archer returned with the figures of 2-29 and pulled off a run-out as England won the match by seven wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He is unbelievable -- I was watching him bowl the other day and I found it so frustrating that a bloke can bowl so fast with what looks like so little effort,&quot; Flintoff said heaping praise on the bowler.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former captain also believes Archer&#39;s inclusion would not disrupt the harmony in the England camp.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Comparing the situation with the decision to call up Kevin Pietersen to the 2005 Ashes squad over Graham Thorpe, Flintoff said, &quot;That wasn&#39;t popular with everyone because Thorpey had come back in the side and scored a hundred against South Africa, but Kev showed the way to take them on. Archer has that same ability to surprise people, to lead the way and raise the bar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Team spirit is born out of winning, I played in a lot of sides, and the only ones that had team spirit were the successful ones. Parachuting someone in is not the issue,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England will play two warm-up games against Australia and Afghanistan in two warm-up matches before starting their World Cup campaign against South Africa on May 30 at The Oval.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
