Jordan expressed joy and eagerness to represent the three-time BBL champions and said that the deal was hard to reject considering the team’s success over the years. Speaking to reporters, he said:
n 43 T20Is, Jordan has claimed 54 wickets and also scored 216 runs at a batting strike-rate of 130.12. His all-round abilities made him a strong pick for Scorchers’ coach Adam Voges. Speaking about the complete package, including his out-field athleticism, Voges stated:
Scorchers will find Jordan an important asset considering the absences of left-arm pacer Jason Behrendorff due to a back injury, Andrew Tye because of an elbow issue and the departing Nathan Coulter-Nile.
