From missing Test for IPL to Eng's No 6: Bethell's story
The New Indian Express Mangaluru
|August 01, 2025
JACOB Bethell was impressive on his Test debut against New Zealand in Christchurch last year, scoring an unbeaten 50 off just 37 balls as England chased down a 104-run target to win the opening contest.
The left-hand batter followed it up with 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.
