Will Jacks is an English cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter and off-spin bowler. He made his Test debut for England against Pakistan in December 2022. His first major impact at the international level came in that series when he took six wickets on his Test debut at Rawalpindi, becoming the first England debutant spinner since 1993 to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match.
He first gained wide attention during Surrey’s 2019 pre-season tour when he scored a 25-ball hundred in a T10 match in Dubai. Earlier, he had represented England Under-19s, scoring a century against India in a Youth Test and serving as vice-captain at the 2018 Under-19 World Cup.
Jacks earned his Test call-up for England’s 2022 tour of Pakistan after a strong all-round domestic season with Surrey, where he further developed his off-spin under coach Gareth Batty. He later represented England in both ODIs and T20Is and became the second player to score a century in The Hundred, achieving the feat for Oval Invincibles against Southern Brave. An injury during the 2023 Bangladesh tour ruled him out of his first planned IPL season.
