Jordan hails ‘tremendous’ England bowling changes at T20 World Cup

Chris Jordan yesterday hailed the “tremendous” efforts of England’s improvised bowling attack following dominant victories in their first two T20 World Cup matches. 

England skittled defending champions the West Indies for 55 and won by six wickets in their tournament opener before restricting Bangladesh to 124-9 and cantering to an eight-wicket victory on Wednesday. 

Their performances with the ball were all the more impressive given Eoin Morgan’s men are missing several key bowlers. 

England travelled to the United Arab Emirates without the injured Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Sam Curran, while Tom Curran and Mark Wood were also sidelined from the opening two matches. 

But left-arm seamer Tymal Mills and all-rounder Chris Woakes have stepped up after returning to England’s Twenty20 squad for the first time since 2017 and 2015 respectively. 

“The chemistry between the boys and the way everyone has taken on each and every role they’ve been given has been tremendous,” said England paceman Jordan.
