Jonty Jenner is one of Jersey’s most technically gifted and internationally experienced cricketers. Born on December 4, 1997, Jenner has been at the forefront of Jersey’s batting lineup since his teenage years. A right-handed batsman with elegant stroke play and a calm temperament, he has emerged as a vital asset in both limited-overs formats. Jenner’s talent was recognized early when he was selected as a substitute fielder for England in a Test match against South Africa in 2017 — a rare achievement for a player from an Associate nation. His domestic and international exposure, including stints with Sussex, helped sharpen his game and confidence. For Jersey, Jenner has been a consistent run-scorer in tournaments like the ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier and World Cup Challenge League. Whether opening the innings or stabilizing the middle order, his ability to adapt under different conditions sets him apart. His composure and footwork allow him to excel against both pace and spin. One of his standout performances came during the 2019 Europe Qualifier where he top-scored in crucial games, helping Jersey punch above its weight against stronger Associate sides. He often plays the role of the team’s anchor, ensuring a solid platform for big totals. Off the field, Jenner is known for his discipline and professionalism. He’s a mentor to younger players in the squad and promotes high-performance standards throughout the team setup. His dual experience in county cricket and international Associate tournaments gives Jersey a strong competitive edge.
