Chris Jordan scores four wickets in five balls for England at the T20 World Cup

Jordan is usually overshadowed by his brilliant friend, another fast bowler from Barbados. Not this time. After Jordan’s hat-trick, an ecstatic Jofra Archer lifted Jordan off his feet.

Jordan’s recall to the team was one of England’s most controversial selection decisions at the T20 World Cup.

After playing against Scotland and Australia earlier in the tournament, Jordan was dropped from the squad, brought back for a match against Namibia and then dropped from the squad again. His impressive death bowling performance – four wickets in five balls, a final score of 5-10 and England on course for a place in the semi-finals – highlighted why England turned to him again at a crucial stage of the tournament.

“It’s an incredible feeling,” Jordan said. “Doing it in such a special place is always nice.”

“I’ve tried to score a hat-trick a few times but I failed, so I’m just happy I managed it.”

But Jordan could be celebrating an even more memorable moment on his home island later next week. Two years ago, Jordan won the T20 World Cup at one of cricket’s cathedrals, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. On Saturday, he could help England reclaim their title at another of the sport’s greatest venues, the Kensington Oval.
