Jordan recently played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 for England. He played just the semi-final and the final and came up with notable performances. He came into the XI as Mark Wood’s replacement. He picked up 4 for 43 against India in the semi-final and 2 for 27 in the final against Pakistan.

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG retained Mark Wood, despite the Englan speedster missing the entire season due to injury. Wood has been injury prone in his career for a long-time now. Lucknow can target Jordan in the upcoming auction and keep him as Wood’s backup. The rest of the bowlers in the squad are mainly bowlers who can bowl at the start and through the middle.

Jordan is also one of the best fielders in modern cricket and one of the fittest cricketers as well. Lucknow has a remaining purse of 23.35 crores after the retention window.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Jordan has played a couple of matches for SRH before in the IPL. With a purse remaining of over 40 crores and looking to revamp their squad, Hyderabad should look to rope in Jordan as of their key players. He can resolve the death bowling woes of the franchise and his fielding will always be an added bonus. Overall Jordan has picked up 27 wickets from 26 matches in the IPL so far.
