Bethell to become England's youngest men's captain
Jacob Bethell, 21, is set to be the youngest man to captain England in international cricket when he leads an understrength T20 side on a tour of Ireland in September. With regular players rested, all-rounder Bethell will take on the captaincy, aiming to make history. The tour will precede a series against South Africa, where promising newcomers like Sonny Baker will also get a chance to shine, as England continues to prepare for upcoming challenges like the Ashes.
