Jacob Bethell is set to become England's youngest international men's cricket captain after the 21-year-old was named on Friday as skipper for next month's T20 international series in Ireland.

The talented Warwickshire all-rounder is regarded as one of the rising stars of the English game, even though he has still to score his first professional century in any format.

Bethell, however, has still been appointed to lead England in a three-match T20 series against Ireland in Dublin from September 17-21, which will serve as part of the team's preparations for next year’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

He is now in line to become England's youngest men’s captain in an international match, breaking the record of Monty Bowden, who was 23 years and 144 days old when he led England in a Test against South Africa at Cape Town in 1888/89.
