Sri Lanka T20Is: 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.
