Will Jacks

Personal background

William George Jacks was born in Chertsey, Surrey, on 21 November 1998. ESPNcricinfo records his education at St George's College, Weybridge, while the ICC identifies him as an England player. The public sporting record supplies useful identity and development context without requiring private family details.

Question: Which country does Will Jacks play for? Answer: Will Jacks is an English cricketer who represents England in international cricket.

Professional journey

Jacks came through Surrey's senior sides in 2018 before moving into England's international setup in 2022 and 2023. His professional route now crosses county cricket, The Hundred and overseas T20 leagues. The ECB's 13 October 2026 announcement lists him as a Surrey player in both England's ODI and IT20 squads for the November Australia series, which is the latest dated team-selection evidence used here.

Question: What are Will Jacks's current teams? Answer: The latest reviewed selection record lists Surrey and England's ODI and IT20 squads for the November 2026 Australia series. It is a dated selection snapshot, not a promise of later availability.

Playing career and statistics

The 2022 season established Jacks as a high-demand white-ball player: ESPNcricinfo credits him with 108 not out in The Hundred, 414 Bangladesh Premier League runs and 648 Surrey County Championship runs. His England career has covered Tests, ODIs and T20Is, while his franchise record includes a 2024 IPL hundred for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The statistics below are the ESPNcricinfo career-table snapshot fetched on 8 November 2026; the page does not provide a separate statistical update timestamp.

Question: What is Will Jacks's highest score? Answer: The reviewed career table lists 47 in Tests, 94 in ODIs and 53 not out in T20Is. Its combined T20 tournament table lists 108 not out, while its IPL table lists 100 not out.

Question: What is Will Jacks's IPL record? Answer: The reviewed snapshot lists 28 IPL matches, 602 runs, a highest score of 100 not out and 10 wickets, bound to the 8 November 2026 retrieval.

Playing style

Jacks is listed as a right-hand batter and right-arm offbreak bowler. The evidence describes a player comfortable attacking at the top of an innings and contributing useful spin, which gives a captain options in both powerplay batting and middle-overs matchups. His profile is therefore more than a batter label: the value comes from the possibility of changing a game in two disciplines, although the exact bowling workload remains selection-dependent.

Question: Is Will Jacks an all-rounder? Answer: Yes. The ICC lists him as an all-rounder, and ESPNcricinfo records him as a batting all-rounder who bowls right-arm offbreak.

Setbacks and comebacks

The ECB reported on 20 August 2026 that Jacks was recovering after an appendix operation and that his availability for the Sri Lanka series would be assessed. The subsequent record shows a return in that series, including 46 not out and 5 for 22 in the first ODI against Sri Lanka on 22 September; the ECB later described the performance as man of the match. This profile records the public sporting timeline without adding private medical detail or treating one performance as a guarantee of future selection.

Post-playing work

Jacks is an active player in the latest evidence, not a retired cricketer. The ICC profile records a 2026 last-match year, and the ECB's October squad announcement places him in England's white-ball plans for Australia. The sources reviewed do not establish a post-playing coaching, broadcast or administrative career, so none is invented here.

Public ventures

The reviewed ECB, ICC and ESPNcricinfo pages establish Jacks's playing career and team affiliations but do not document a verified business, charity, endorsement portfolio or public venture that belongs in this biography. Absence of that evidence is not proof that no activity exists; it is the reason this section makes no ownership, salary or net-worth claim.
