England T20 World Cup hopeful Will Jacks smashes quickfire century in IPL
Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Will Jacks bats during the Indian Premier League cricket match between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Ahmedabad, India, April 28, 2024

WILL JACKS gave a timely reminder of his destructive batting capabilities to England’s selectors with a stunning 41-ball unbeaten hundred in the Indian Premier League.

England name a provisional 15 for the T20 World Cup in June tomorrow and it is expected Jacks will be included, although he did his prospects no harm to inspire Royal Challengers Bangalore to victory at the cavernous Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Set 201 to beat Gujarat Titans, Jacks initially played second fiddle to Virat Kohli as he cruised along at a run-a-ball 17 before hitting the first of his 10 sixes to ignite his charge.
