With the T20 World Cup 2020 just a year away, England pacer Chris Jordan is really excited to perform well in the upcoming ICC mega event in Australia.

Jordan also remembered the T20 World Cup final in 2016 when Carlos Brathwaite smashed Ben Stokes for four consecutive sixes and snatched the World Cup from England's grasp.

While talking to Daily Mail about the performance in Kolkata, he said, “I was an over away last time. Obviously it was meant to be. But when the time comes next year and that intensity starts to ramp up, I'm sure I'll be fully switched on.

It is something you do embrace, because it is a goal you set yourself – it is something you work towards. It was no different with the 50-over World Cup when we were building towards that, so you do speak about it,” he added.

When asked about Jofra Archer’s performance in the recently concluded ODI World Cup, the 31-year-old said, “When Jofra was performing the way he was, it felt like I was making those performances as well. It was that touching, it was that daring, especially in the World Cup final, when he bowled that awesome super over. If anything I felt just as much a part of it.

The right-arm pacer born in Barbados has represented England in 8 Test matches, 31 ODIs and 39 T20Is, the format he is most valued in.
