Simply the Beth as England record set to be broken

August 16, 2025

JACOB Bethell is set to become England's youngest-ever men's captain in an international match after being selected to lead the side in three T20s in Ireland next month.

- By DAVID CHARLESWORTH Cricket Reporter

Warwickshire's 21-year-old star is on the Test fringes but he is already a white-ball mainstay and the esteem with which he is held in is emphasised by his appointment to captain England from September 17-21 in Dublin.

When he does so, Bethell will eclipse the existing record held by Monty Bowden, who was 23 years and 144 days old when he oversaw England in a Test against South Africa at Cape Town in 1888-89.
