Impressive Blast and Hundred batter speaks outPlayer in limited-overs squad to tour the Caribbean
A white-ball homecoming awaits Jacob Bethell but the England newcomer has outlined what “has always been” his dream: to play Test cricket.
It is a refrain heard from most cricketers but carries weight when spoken by a 20-year-old thriving in the lucrative shorter forms. Bethell, who was born and raised in Barbados, has been named in the limited-overs squad to tour the Caribbean in October and November, having debuted in ODIs and T20Is against Australia this summer. The left-handed batter was at his most impressive in England’s T20 win at Cardiff, his 24-ball 44 including some brutal hitting against the opposition’s premier bowler, Adam Zampa.
