LUTON, England (Reuters) - England would be silly not to include Barbados-born all-rounder Jofra Archer in their World Cup squad even if it's just to keep their regular pace attack on their toes, according to former fast bowler Devon Malcolm.

The prodigiously-talented Archer, who shone for Sussex last season and in the Big Bash for Hobart Hurricanes, will become eligible for selection before the tournament begins in May under new England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) residency rules.
