Son of former South African cricketer and coach, Ray Jennings, Keaton Jennings was South Africa's under-19 skipper in 2011, opening the batting with Quinton de Kock.

But considering the complex political scenario in South Africa due to the emergence of transformation targets, Jennings decided to move to England. He already had a British passport since his mother was English.

In November 2016, he was named in England's Test squad in India as a replacement for Haseeb Hameed and went on to score a fine century on debut against India in Mumbai.
