Asked whether he would ‘make it into your team’, Holder replied: “He’s English, so no!” with a little chuckle.
Earlier the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had earlier eased firm rules on registration to make sure Archer is open for selection for the ICC World Cup 2019 as well as The Ashes series after it.
