Full Name: Christopher James Jordan Date of Birth: October 4, 1988 Birthplace: Christ Church, Barbados Role: Right-Arm Fast-Medium Bowler | Right-Handed Batter | T20 Specialist Chris Jordan has become England’s go-to man when the game is on the line. A death-over specialist, explosive lower-order hitter, and arguably the best fielder England has ever had, Jordan has built a legacy not through headlines, but through moments of absolute composure and athletic brilliance. Born in Barbados, Jordan’s journey to England cricket began at Combermere School, the same school that produced pop star Rihanna and cricketing legend Carlos Brathwaite. He moved to England on a sports scholarship at Dulwich College in London, and soon after, started rising through the ranks of English county cricket. Jordan made his international debut in 2013 and quickly became known for his ability to swing the ball at decent pace. But his true value emerged in the shortest format of the game. His consistent yorkers, clever slower balls, and bullet-throws from the deep made him indispensable in England’s white-ball revolution. His record in T20 Internationals speaks volumes: - Most T20I wickets for England (90+) - Represented England in multiple T20 World Cups, including 2022’s victorious campaign - Bowled the final over in the 2022 T20 World Cup Final vs Pakistan, sealing the win with nerves of steel Jordan is also a franchise cricket favorite. He’s played in the IPL, Big Bash, PSL, and The Hundred, earning a reputation as a high-impact player who brings calm in chaos. Whether it’s bowling under pressure or pulling off a jaw-dropping catch at the boundary, Jordan makes things happen. And then there’s the fielding—oh, the fielding. Jordan’s catching, diving stops, and direct hits are often game-changing. His athleticism has become the gold standard, and young cricketers across the world study his highlight reels to learn how it’s done. Despite his elite skills, Jordan remains grounded and team-oriented. He’s known as a mentor to younger players and a quietly influential voice in the dressing room. His leadership, especially among England’s multicultural squad, has helped shape a positive and unified environment. With jersey number 34, Chris Jordan is England’s calm closer—the man who sprints in when it’s toughest, flies across the boundary like a superhero, and keeps showing the world that big moments belong to big hearts.
