NEW DELHI (Reuters) - England fast bowler Chris Jordan has joined Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore as a replacement for injured Australia paceman Mitchell Starc, the Indian cricket board said.

Starc has been ruled out of the Twenty20 league with a foot problem, opening the door for Jordan, who impressed with his death bowling in the recent World Twenty20 in India, where an Eoin Morgan-led England lost to West Indies in the final.
