The Hundred

Manchester Originals drafted Jos for the inaugral running of The Hundred in 2021. In the first two years of the competition Jos played for the frsnchise in seven matches.

He passed 50 on three occasions, including a career highest score of 82.

Indian Premier League (IPL)

In the high-octane IPL, Jos has played for the Mumbai Indians (2016, 2017) and the Rajasthan Royals (2018-2024).

Big Bash League (BBL)

England

Jos made his international debut for England in 2011. He holds the record for the fastest 100 scored for England in one-day cricket. Jos has scored over 3000 runs for England in ODIs, including 9 centuries.

In 2018, Jos reminded fans that his talents are not limited to white-ball cricket when the England selectors recalled him to the test team. Jos handsomely repaid their decision, by scoring a third Test maiden century vs. India at Trent Bridge.

He was England’s leading run getter in the series win vs. India. Mike Atherton stated that the inclusion of Jos was the key to England’s upturn in form during 2018.

In May 2019, Jos was selected for England’s World Cup squad. In the final against New Zealand, Jos, along with Ben Stokes, dragged England back into the game.

Together, they put on 110 invaluable runs for the 5th wicket. After the final was tied, Jos and Ben went out again and made 15 vital runs during England’s Super Over.
