5 steal buys from recently concluded SA20 auction

3. Will Jacks

Allrounder Will Jacks is considered a player for the future. Pretoria Capitals were quick enough to jump for the youngster as he was sold for just R 1.10 million. The 23-year-old is yet to make his international debut but with the kind of cricket he can play, Jacks will feature sooner than later in the England white-ball set-up.

Jacks has played 100 T20 matches in his career and scored 2492 runs in the format. Being an opener, his strike rate of 154.30 is quite astounding but he is someone who fails to convert his starts. In SA20, he will have the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the world and that is exactly how he can improve his game and make a case for himself in front of his national selectors for a spot in the team.

He’s got the talent and is known as a clean striker of the ball. He is a decent bowler as well and that will help him in breaking into the squad. He averages 7.19 with the ball and has picked up 23 wickets in 39 innings thus far.
