He made five further YODI appearances during the tournament, the last of which came against Namibia Under-19s. His next appearance for Denmark came in 2003, in a minor match against Ireland. Two years later he was selected in Denmark's squad for the 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland. The International Cricket Council afforded List A status to these matches, with Borchersen making his debut in that format against Uganda. He made six further List A appearances during the tournament, the last of which came against Namibia. He took 11 wickets during the tournament at an average of 23.18, with best figures of 3/29. With the bat, he scored 60 runs at a batting average of 10.00, with a high score of 23.
The following year, he played in the 2006 European Championship Division One, making a single appearance in the tournament against Ireland. In 2007, he toured Kenya, playing two matches against a Kenya Select XI and a Coast Cricket Association XI. Later that year, he was selected as part of Denmark's squad for the World Cricket League Division Two in Namibia, making four List A appearances. He scored 36 runs with the bat with a top score of 15. With the ball, he took 4 wickets at an average of 26.25, with best figures of 2/29.
