Will Jacks Joins MI Emirates Ahead
MI Emirates strengthens lineup with Will Jacks, aiming to advance in ILT20 playoffs with a crucial match against Sharjah Warriors on February 6, leveraging Jacks' batting and bowling skills.
In a move to bolster their lineup for the playoffs, MI Emirates has signed English opener Will Jacks, providing the team with a versatile all-rounder who can contribute both with the bat and the ball, including spin bowling.
Jacks' recent performance in the SA20 2025 with Pretoria Capitals saw him score 225 runs in 10 matches at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 135.54, including two half-centuries. His bowling, while not as prolific, yielded 4 wickets in 7 innings with an economy rate of 6.47, showcasing his potential as a valuable all-round asset.
The signing of Will Jacks is particularly significant as MI Emirates prepares to face Sharjah Warriors in the Eliminator on February 6. Both teams are evenly matched with 10 points each, but MI Emirates has a slight edge due to a better net run rate. Jacks' ability to perform under pressure and his experience in similar T20 leagues could prove crucial in this upcoming match.
With the addition of Will Jacks to their roster, MI Emirates is looking to leverage his skills to advance in the International League T20 (ILT20) playoffs. His adaptability as an opener and a spin bowler adds depth to the team, potentially improving their chances against tough opponents like Sharjah Warriors.
