Jacob Bethell Set To Become England’s Youngest Men’s Captain In Absence Of Brook

By IANS News August 15, 2025 • 21:12 PM View: 694

South Africa ODI: Jacob Bethell will become England’s youngest men’s captain, when they visit Ireland for a three match T20I series starting from September 17.

The 21-year-old allrounder has been handed the reins for the T20I series in Ireland, stepping in for regular skipper Harry Brook, who is being rested along with other all-format players as part of workload management.

Bethell will eclipse a record that has stood for more than 135 years, surpassing Monty Bowden, who was 23 years and 144 days when he led England in Cape Town during the 1888–89 Test tour of South Africa.
