NZ VS SL: Batter Bevon Jacobs earns first New Zealand call-up for Sri Lanka T20Is

Wellington: Batter Bevon Jacobs has earned his maiden international call-up for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka as New Zealand have announced the squad for the series beginning in Mount Maunganui on December 28.  Already with a reputation for high class power hitting displayed in New Zealand domestic cricket last season, the 22-year-old has continued his form in the early stages of the current home summer, showing why he deserved a deal in Indian domestic T20 cricket in 2025.

The call-up caps off a memorable month for the 22-year-old, who was also picked up in last month’s IPL mega auction to join Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner at the Mumbai Indians.

Jacobs will get an early look at the touring Sri Lanka squad as he lines up for the New Zealand XI in today’s T20 warm-up at Lincoln University. IANS
