Jordan adds bite to Sharks

Chris Jordan returns to the Sussex Sharks squad for Friday night's NatWest T20 Blast game with Kent Spitfires at Hove.

The 25-year-old was released from the England squad to play India at Trent Bridge this week and has been given permission to return to his county as they aim to get back on track following their loss last week.

Despite winning their two previous games, the Sharks crumbled to a 13 run defeat last Friday and currently sit in seventh place on eight points.

However they will still be without wicketkeeper Matt Prior who, unlike Jordan, was selected for England.

The Sharks come up against a Spitfires side that they have already been victorious over once this season, beating them by 35 runs at Canterbury thanks to Luke Wright's innings of 85.

Wright will undoubtedly be the main man once again for the Sharks despite coming off a golden duck last week. Well known as a T20 specialist around the world, Wright's runs could well be the deciding factor for the Sharks.

The England man will come up against a vastly experienced foe in Darren Stevens who goes into the game in good form following an unbeaten half-century against Surrey and a quickfire 23 last time out against Hampshire.

Stevens will be joined by England spinner James Tredwell, who once again returns to the Spitfires squad despite playing his four-day cricket for Friday night's opponents.

The Spitfires are also languishing near the foot of the table having suffered a nighmare run of six games without a win, but know that a win will take them above their opponents and retain a slim chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
