South Africa won first T20 thanks to Lungi Ngidi’s death bowling
Chris Jordan could be forgiven for thinking he must prove himself in the next few days against South Africa to secure his place at the T20
World Cup but the
England seamer has an alternative perspective.
Jordan has missed only one of England’s 28 sprint-format matches since the last T20 World Cup in 2016 and he is their second highest wicket-taker of all time with 56 at a fine average of 23.71. England have a number of fast-bowling options for the ongoing series against the Proteas, while the injured pair Jofra Archer and Pat Brown will doubtless come into the reckoning as the year progresses.
