Jordan Cox’s Hundred Heroics Earn Him England Recall for Ireland T20Is

Jordan Cox has finally got the reward that he deserved. His stunning form in the Men’s Hundred has earned a call-up to England’s T20I squad for the upcoming series against Ireland. The 24-year-old batter was named Player of the Tournament after guiding Oval Invincibles to a third consecutive title. He scored 367 runs at an average of 61 and a strike rate of nearly 174.

In the final at Lord’s, Cox chipped in with a crucial 40 from 28 deliveries, helping Invincibles secure a commanding win over Trent Rockets. His consistency throughout the tournament kept him in the spotlight, and this belated England’s side return has given a sign of relief to him and his fans who followed his exploits closely. You can also catch the match that sets the tone for their run.

Cox’s journey has not been straightforward. A broken thumb cost him a Test debut in New Zealand earlier this year, while a side strain interrupted his county season just as he was finding form for Essex. Despite the setbacks, he kept knocking on the door with runs in pressure games.

This recall sees him join a second-string England squad captained by Jacob Bethell, set to play three T20Is in Dublin on September 17, 19, and 21. The original selection had looked light on batting, and Cox now provides much-needed stability in the middle order.

His return also comes at a time when England’s ODI side is reeling from a heavy defeat to South Africa at Headingley, adding a layer of intrigue as selectors continue to weigh their options across formats.
