Jordan returned to team after 10 months The match was special for 23 -year -old Jordan Cox. For the last 10 months, he was waiting for a return to the England team. Last year, he was selected in all the format teams, but in the first five innings he was able to score only 37 runs and looked weak against short balls. His thumb was broken during net practice in November 2024 just before the Test debut against New Zealand, which averted his debut. After this injury, he enlisted the help of a psychologist to mentally strengthen himself.
This season Cox has performed brilliantly in domestic cricket. At the County Championship, he scored three centuries and a century in the T20 blast. He was included in the team at the last minute for the tour of Ireland. He got a chance in this match as Sam Karan was not available due to attending his friend’s wedding.
