Jacob Bethell
Jacob Graham Bethell (born 23 October 2003) is a cricketer who plays for the England cricket team. He made his international debut in September 2024 against Australia at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. In domestic cricket, Bethell represents Warwickshire. He became England's youngest ever captain when he was appointed to lead the Twenty20 International side against Ireland in September 2025.
Bethell was born in Barbados before moving to the United Kingdom aged 12 to attend boarding school. His father, Graham, attended King Edward VI school in Southampton in the 1990s. His family has had a long involvement with cricket and his grandfather, Arthur Bethell, played first-class cricket for Barbados. He holds a British passport through his father.
Educated first at Harrison College in Barbados, Bethell played age-group cricket. He was player of the tournament in the West Indies Under-15 competition in 2017. By this stage he had already earned a scholarship at Rugby School, where he was coached by the former Warwickshire captain Mike Powell who was the school's Director of Cricket. In 2021, he scored 202 in the first innings of Rugby's annual two-day fixture against Marlborough College, a modern-day record.
Bethell played age-group cricket for Warwickshire sides, and signed a three-year professional contract with them in January 2021. Former Warwickshire captain and England cricketer Ian Bell described him as "the best 17-year old" he had ever seen. He made his List A debut in the 2021 One-Day Cup, for Warwickshire against Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on 22 July. He made his first-class debut on 12 September 2021 at Headingley, for Warwickshire against Yorkshire in the County Championship.
In April 2022, Welsh Fire paid £30,000 to add Bethell to their squad for that year's season of the Hundred.
In July 2023, he was drafted into The Hundred by the Birmingham Phoenix.
He took his maiden first-class wicket on 15 April 2024 at Edgbaston, for Warwickshire against Durham in the County Championship.
In November 2024, Bethell was signed by Indian Premier League side Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the 2025 tournament.
