Want a hard-hitting batter? Dial Bevon Jacobs!

He made headlines a few months earlier when he was picked up by Mumbai Indians at the IPL Auction, and then soon made his way into the New Zealand T20I squad against Sri Lanka as well. He’s coming in on the back of some big runs under his belt and is going to love joining this power-packed middle-order.

He hit a magnificent 20-ball 42 on his debut for Canterbury in the Super Smash 2023-24 curtain raiser. Almost a year later, he registered fifties in both innings of his maiden First-Class match for Auckland.

He also has a T20 century to his name. The 22-year-old scored 100 off 40 balls for South Brisbane on the final day of the Queensland T20 Max 2023-24 competition.
