Jamie Smith International Career
In January 2023, Jamie Smith made headlines by scoring the fastest century for the England Lions in an unofficial Test against Sri Lanka A. Influenced by England’s “Bazball” approach, he adopted a more aggressive batting style. By September 2023, Smith received his first full England cap for the ODI series against Ireland, and in July 2024, he debuted in Test cricket, scoring 70 at Lord’s. On 23 August 2024, he achieved his maiden Test century against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford and became one of only three England players to score over 70 in three of their first five Test innings. His 318 runs in these innings rank as the second highest for a wicketkeeper in Test history.
