  4. Since his father is English, Jofra was granted British citizenship.
  5. He is very close to his mother.
  6. Upon his arrival in England in 2015, he was not granted permission to play for the national team as according to the rules of the ECB at the time, he would have had to complete at least 7 years as a resident of England.

  10. He was named in the Sussex County Cricket Club on the recommendation of bowler Chris Jordan who was very impressed with Jofra’s bowling.
  11. His fluid, athletic action allows him to bowl a consistent 90 mph (149 km/h). Jordan also stated in an interview that he might have bowled many fast-paced bowls than the whole team put together.
  12. In 2019, Jofra was given a one-of-a-kind gold chain from Pragnell and was also announced as their brand ambassador.
  13. He is a big fan of Fortnite. He also appealed for help while at a hotel room as they did not have an HDMI cable connector on their television.
