Christopher James "Chris" Jordan (born 4 October 1988) is a Barbadian-English cricketer. He is a right-arm fast bowler and a tail-ender right-handed batsman. He often fields at slip. He is also often seen as a substitute fielder for the England Cricket Team.
Jordan and both of his parents were born in Barbados; his maternal grandparents are British citizens. After initially being educated at Combermere School in Bridgetown, Barbados where he studied alongside singer Rihanna, he gained a sporting scholarship to complete his formal education at Dulwich College, in England.
Jordan made his 1st XI debut for Surrey versus Middlesex at Lord's in August 2007. He took 2–41 on his first-class debut and in his second match, versus Durham, helped to dismiss the home side by taking 3–42. He received the NBC Denis Compton Award as Surrey's most promising young player in 2007.
After suffering a stress fracture of the back, Jordan was unable to play in the 2010 English cricket season. He resumed training in December that year.
At the end of the 2012 season, Jordan was released by Surrey after six years with the county. He returned to Barbados to play a second winter season for the Barbados national cricket team, before joining Sussex for the English 2013 season, taking championship best figures of 6–48 on debut against Yorkshire.
Qualified to play for both the West Indies and England (through both maternal genealogy and residency), he chose to play for England. He made his ODI debut in September 2013 against Australia, and took his first ODI five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka on 28 May 2014 at Old Trafford, with figures of 5 for 29, helping England to a 10-wicket win.
Jordan was named in the England Test squad for their series against Sri Lanka, before making his debut in the first Test.
He was also named in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Test matches of India's tour of England in 2014.
