Perth Scorchers sign England pacer Jordan to complete BBL Squad

Perth: Perth Scorchers have signed England pacer Chris Jordan for the upcoming season of the Big Bash League (BBL). It will be his third BBL team after Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder. “Playing in Perth can be quite hostile (as an opposition player) obviously it’s a sea of orange and everyone is rooting for the Scorchers,” Jordan said.

“I know from experience when the opposition hit a boundary in the stadium there’s no noise, but when the Scorchers are up and about and doing well everyone’s backing them to the hills... I’m looking forward to having some of that on my side!”

Jordan has played 43 T20Is for England. The 31-year-old’s recent heroics for England saw the powerful lower-order bat claim victory against New Zealand in a super over. IANS
