William George Jacks (born 21 November 1998) is an English cricketer.[1] He is a right-handed batsman and off spin bowler.[2] He made his Test debut against Pakistan in December 2022.[3]

Career

He made his List A debut on 18 May 2018 for Surrey against Somerset in the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup.[4] In his third game, in the same competition, he scored a match-winning 121 against Gloucestershire.[5] Prior to his List A debut, he was in the England squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup,[6] where he played all six games, including the last as captain.[7]

He made his first-class debut on 20 June 2018, for Surrey in the 2018 County Championship.[8] He made his Twenty20 debut for Surrey in the 2018 t20 Blast on 5 July 2018.[9] In a pre-season T10 match against Lancashire, Jacks scored a century in 25 balls, believed to be the fastest hundred in a match between two professional teams in a true cricket ground.[10] His century also included six sixes in one over.[11]

On 29 May 2020, Jacks was named in a 55-man group of players to begin training ahead of international fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][13]

In June 2021, Jacks scored English cricket's third fastest Twenty20 fifty, off 15 balls, as Surrey beat local rivals Middlesex.[14]

In July 2021, Jacks was named in England's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against Pakistan,[15] after the original squad for the tour was forced to withdraw following positive tests for COVID-19.[16]

In April 2022, he was bought by the Oval Invincibles for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[17] In August 2022, he scored the highest score in the history of The Hundred, at 108 runs in 48 balls.[18] In September 2022, he was named in the England's T20I squad for the series against Pakistan.[19] He made his T20I debut on 23 September 2022, against Pakistan.[20]
