From missing Test for IPL to Eng's No 6: Bethell's story

The left-hand batter followed it up with a 118-ball 96 and 76 in the next two matches as England won the three-match series 2-1.

All his half-centuries came in the second innings, playing at No. 3 as Ollie Pope had taken wicket-keeping duties in the absence of injured Jordan Cox and moved back to No. 6. Apart from scoring 260 runs at an average of 52, Bethell also claimed three wickets in the series. The 21-year-old was also handed a two-year central contract a week after his Test debut. The splendid show meant England head coach Brendon McCullum even admitted that Pope is no longer guaranteed a spot in the playing XI with the India series and all-important Ashes looming.
