LONDON (Reuters) - India captain Virat Kohli said "world class" England fast bowler Jofra Archer can be the X factor that gives the Cricket World Cup hosts an additional edge in the tournament.

Archer, born in Barbados and who represented West Indies at youth level, was named in England's 15-man squad on Tuesday, despite only having made his one-day international debut around three weeks ago.
