Birmingham Phoenix have named England batter Jacob Bethell as their new captain for the upcoming season of The Hundred.

Interestingly, Bethell was a £340,000 pre-signing for the Phoenix ahead of the March 11 auction.

The franchise said that Jacob Bethell will replace Liam Livingstone, who has left Birmingham Phoenix to join London Spirit. Bethell has also been serving as England’s vice-captain since the series against Ireland.

After his appointment, Bethell took centre stage and talked about how honoured he is to be named as the captain of the Phoenix and opined that he is ready for any opportunity that comes his way.

"I'm incredibly proud to be named captain of the Birmingham Phoenix. Leading this team is a huge honour, and it's an opportunity I'm ready for, especially after the experience of captaining England last year. That responsibility taught me a lot about my own leadership and how to bring the best out of a group,” Bethell was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

Birmingham Phoenix head coach Shane Bond spoke about the appointment of Jacob Bethell. He praised the young player for his recent performances and leadership experience.

“Jacob is an outstanding young leader who has already shown maturity beyond his years. His experience captaining England last year demonstrated his tactical awareness and composure, as well as the ability to inspire those around him,” Bond said.
