England all-rounder Will Jacks is currently one of the promising players in the shortest format of the game, but is yet to make his debut for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL.

The English player, who was born in Chertsey, Surrey on 21 November 1998, has represented his hometown side Surrey since 2018 and made his senior international debut in 2022 September for the T20I side followed by call ups to the ODI and Test sides.
