Jordan Matthew Cox (born 21 October 2000) is an English professional cricketer.[2] He signed his first professional contract with Kent County Cricket Club in October 2018, having joined the county club at age 10, played for them at age-group levels and been a member of the club's academy programme, winning the John Aitken Gray award as the best academy scholar in 2018.[3][4]
Cox was born at Margate in Kent[5] and educated at Wellesley House School and Felsted School. He first played for Kent's Second XI in 2017.[6][7][8][9] He played for the London and East team in the ECB Super-4s developmental T20 competition in 2018 and was named player of the tournament.[4] In early 2019 he played for the England under-19 cricket team on their tour of Bangladesh.[8][10] In club cricket he plays for Sandwich Town in the Kent Cricket League.[3]
After scoring a century in a 50-over Second XI friendly in April 2019 he made his List A cricket debut on 27 April 2019 against the touring Pakistanis, scoring 21 runs.[11] Following a series of good batting performances, including scoring two centuries, for the Second XI during the 2019 season, Cox made his first-class cricket debut in July against Hampshire and was called into the England under-19 squad for a series of matches against India and Bangladesh during August.[12][13] He made his Twenty20 debut later the same month against Somerset in the 2019 t20 Blast.[14]
