Jacob to be youngest skipper for England
JACOB BETHELL is ready to embrace the “pretty cool" honour of becoming the youngest man to captain England, when he takes the next step in Ireland.
The 21-year-old only made his international debut last September, but has already been fast-tracked as Harry Brook's stand-in, taking charge of three T20s in Malahide this week.
In doing so, he takes one of the longest-standing records in the game, edging out Monty Bowden, who led England at the age of 23, back in 1889.
Bethell has become one of the most talked-about talents in the country, but handles his newfound position in the limelight with a natural ease.
