    England became the champions of T20 World Cup 2022 earlier tonight with a win over Pakistan in the final of the mega event. Playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Jos Buttler-led outfit registered a win by five wickets. They had six balls remaining in the second innings when Ben Stokes scored the winning runs for the team.

    It was a memorable T20 World Cup campaign for the English squad as they became the first nation to hold the ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup at the same time in the men’s division. Interestingly, they lost only one match, and it was against Ireland at the Melbourne Cricket Ground a few days ago.

    Unlike the 2019 World Cup, this time around, the captain of the English squad was an Englishman only. Eoin Morgan was born in Ireland, but Jos Buttler’s birthplace is England. There were two players in their squad who were born outside the United Kingdom. Here’s a list of those two players.

    1. Ben Stokes was not born in England

    Star all-rounder Ben Stokes went from zero to hero at the grand stage of T20 World Cup in six years’ time. He conceded four consecutive sixes against Carlos Brathwaite in the final match of the 2016 edition of the mega event. However, in 2022, he played a mature knock of 52 runs in the final and ensured that his team won the tournament.

    2. Chris Jordan

    Pace-bowling all-rounder Chris Jordan was not born in the United Kingdom as well. He was born in West Indies. Jordan played in the semifinal and final for the English team, picking up five wickets. His economy rate was 8.75.
