Will Jacks

Will Jacks is a versatile English batting all-rounder whose explosive power and tactical off-spin have made him a highly sought-after talent in global T20 leagues. A graduate of the Surrey Academy, Jacks first gained widespread attention with a 25-ball century in a pre-season T10 match and has since established himself as an all-format player for England. Known for his aggressive intent at the top of the order, he holds the record for the highest individual score in the history of The Hundred, an unbeaten 108. His recent form in 2025 remained strong, featuring a solid ODI campaign against South Africa and a surprise call-up to England’s Ashes squad as a spin-bowling option. With a career T20 strike rate often exceeding 150, Jacks is recognized for his ability to dismantle bowling attacks within the powerplay.

In the high-stakes environment of the IPL, Jacks has moved from Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the Mumbai Indians (MI), having been retained for the 2026 season. His 2025 season with MI showcased his dual-threat capability, as he contributed over 230 runs and claimed six wickets with his disciplined off-break bowling. Beyond the IPL, he has been a standout performer for the Pretoria Capitals in the SA20 and the Oval Invincibles in England, proving his ability to adapt to diverse pitches worldwide. As he prepares for the 2026 T20 World Cup, his role as a '3D' player—offering explosive batting, reliable spin, and athletic fielding—remains vital to England's white-ball strategy. This upcoming season offers Jacks a prime opportunity to further solidify his reputation as one of the most destructive and reliable all-rounders in the short format.
