England pacer Jordan joins TKR

Eng­land fast bowler Chris Jor­dan has joined Hero Caribbean Pre­mier League fran­chise Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers as a re­place­ment for Pak­istani Muham­mad Has­nain, who was re­called to Pak­istan a week ago.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that the fast bowler, who is a na­tive of Bar­ba­dos, will join the team in Bar­ba­dos on Wednes­day and will be in con­tention for a spot in the TKR line-up when they take on the Bar­ba­dos Tri­dents at the Kens­ing­ton Oval from 6 pm on Thurs­day.

Jor­dan, who played for Eng­land against the West In­dies ear­li­er this year dur­ing the Colo­nial Med­ical In­sur­ance Cup in the West In­dies, brings a lot of ex­pe­ri­ence to the fast bowl­ing unit at TKR. The 30-year old last played for Eng­land against Pak­istan in May this year but was over­looked for the ICC World Cup and was not used against Aus­tralia in the Ash­es se­ries re­cent­ly. Jor­dan has played in 39 T20 in­ter­na­tion­als and has tak­en 47 wick­ets at an av­er­age of 25.61
