After featuring in the England squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he played all six matches and captained the final one, Will Jacks quickly established himself as a dynamic English cricketer known for his aggressive right-handed batting and effective off-spin bowling. He made his List A debut in May 2018 for Surrey against Somerset in the Royal London One-Day Cup, demonstrating immediate impact by scoring a match-winning 121 runs against Gloucestershire in only his third game.

Jacks was a pivotal member of the Surrey team that secured the 2018 County Championship title. Jacks continued to build on his domestic success, making headlines in 2019 by scoring an unofficial T10 century in just 25 balls against Lancashire during a pre-season match, an innings that notably included six sixes in one over. In June 2021, he achieved English cricket’s third fastest Twenty20 fifty, reaching the milestone in a remarkable 15 balls during a match against Middlesex.

In May 2024, his consistent high-level performance was recognized with his selection in England’s prestigious squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning international career.
