Jordan Cox Earns England Recall for Ireland T20s After Hundred Heroics

The England and Wales Cricket Board has rewarded 24-year-old batsman Jordan Cox for his excellent batting in 'The Hundred'. Cox has been included in the England team for the T20 series against Ireland. Jordan Cox batted brilliantly in 'The Hundred'. He scored 367 runs at an average of 61.16 and a strike rate of 173.93. In the final, Cox scored 40 runs off 28 balls. Oval Invincibles won the title for the third consecutive time based on his excellent performance.

Cox was about to make his Test debut against New Zealand, but he lost this opportunity due to a thumb injury just a day before the start of the Test. This explosive batsman played two T20 matches against Australia in September 2024. His score in this was 17 and 0. He has also played three ODIs against the West Indies. Cox has so far scored 3,510 runs in 144 innings of 154 T20 matches, including league, domestic, and international, hitting 1 century and 17 half-centuries.

England's team has already been announced for the three-match T20 series against Ireland. The 14-member team was already announced under the captaincy of Jacob Bethell. Now Cox's name has also been added to it. Jacob Bethell will become the youngest captain in England cricket history as soon as he takes the field for captaincy against Ireland. The series will be played in Dublin on 17, 19, and 21 September.

England for the T20 series against Ireland: Jacob Bethell (captain), Will Jacks, Rehan Ahmed, Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton, Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Tom Banton, Sony Baker, Saqib Mahmood, Tom Hartley, Luke Wood, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid and Jordan Cox.
