Jordan Cox has been rewarded for his outstanding form in The Hundred with a call-up to the England squad for the three T20s in Ireland later this month.<\/p>\n
Cox was the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 367 and was named Most Valuable Player as his Oval Invincibles won a third successive title.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old was initially left out of the squads for the ongoing white-ball series against South Africa and the matches against Ireland that follow.<\/p>\n
He will now join a group in Dublin that largely does not include any of England’s multi-format players, who will rest before this winter’s Ashes series.<\/p>\n
The team in Ireland will be led by Jacob Bethell, who at 21 is set to become the youngest man to captain England in an international.<\/p>\n
Head coach Brendon McCullum is also skipping the series, leaving Marcus Trescothick in charge.<\/p>\n
Cox has previously played three one-day internationals and two T20s, both in 2024.<\/p>\n
But he has suffered huge misfortune with injuries when around the England Test squad.<\/p>\n
He was in line for a Test debut in New Zealand last winter, only to suffer a broken thumb in the nets.<\/p>\n
Cox then had to withdraw from the squad for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in May because of a side injury sustained playing for Essex.<\/p>\n
England’s three T20s against Ireland, all in Dublin, take place on 17, 19 and 21 September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan Cox has been rewarded for his outstanding form in The Hundred with a call-up to the England…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-112448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
