Jordan added that Moores and Morgan "are working perfectly as a partnership and singing off the same hymn sheet".
Jordan also said the players must take responsibility for a disappointing World Cup campaign, which ended following defeats by group rivals Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
