Jacob Bethell achieved a significant milestone by scoring an unbeaten 142 in a Test match against Australia in Sydney. He became the sixth English cricketer to score a maiden first-class hundred in a Test and the fourth youngest in 50 years. His parents, who moved to England with him at age 12, expressed immense pride watching him create history. Bethell, who debuted in 2024, had previously scored three half-centuries in a series against New Zealand.
