Jacob Bethell: England all-rounder admits he should “played a bit more” this summer

England all-rounder Jacob Bethell said he “probably should have played a bit more” during his testing first home summer in international cricket.

Bethell, 21, impressed in his first Test series last winter but has only played a bit-part role this summer.

Having missed the one-off Test against Zimbabwe while at the Indian Premier League, he lost his place in England’s Test XI and was the spare batter across the first four matches against India before coming in for the fifth.

He only played one County Championship match for Warwickshire in-between and as a result has only faced 387 balls in all formats this summer compared to 1,480 in 2024, leading to questions around England’s management of the talented left-hander.

“If I’m honest, when I wasn’t playing in those Tests, I should probably have played a bit more [in domestic cricket],” Bethell told Sky Sports.

“But I’ll take that on and learn from it. I’ve got a lot of cricket ahead now so maybe that gap was quite nice for me.”
