RCB player Jacob Bethell set to make test debut:
In the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has bought 21-year-old England all-rounder Jacob Bethel for a price of Rs 2.6 crore. Not even 24 hours had passed since he was bought by RCB and great news came for Jacob. He has been included in England's playing eleven for the first Test against New Zealand. In this way Jacob is ready to make his Test debut. This year he also made his T20 and ODI debut for England.

Jacob Bethel will make test debut

Jacob, who made his T-20 International debut on 11 September this year, also made his ODI debut on 19 September. He played his first matches in both these formats against Australia. Jacob, who has played eight ODIs so far, has scored 167 runs including one half-century in this format and has also taken four wickets. In seven T-20 International matches, he has scored 173 runs including two half-centuries. At the age of 21 years and 17 days, he is the youngest batsman to score a T20 International half-century for England.

Now he is ready for his test debut. Jacob has played 20 first-class matches so far, in which he has scored 738 runs including five half-centuries in 30 innings. Jacob has taken seven wickets in first-class cricket.

Jacob is a very talented player

Mike Hesson, who was associated with RCB for a long time, had given many important updates regarding Jacob after the auction. He had described Jacob as a very talented player. Along with this, he had also said that Jacob will be replaced by Tim David in the playing eleven of RCB. Jacob's bowling and aggressive batting can really earn him a place in the team ahead of David.

Jacob was born in Barbados, but at the age of 12 he came to England and started playing cricket there. Apart from batting with the left hand, he also bowls spin with the left hand.
