For Ehcache 3.5.2 as well as for any other JCache Provider you can use standard methods to enable statistics during cache configuration For instanse:

...
MutableConfiguration config = new MutableConfiguration<>();
config.setStatisticsEnabled(true);
...

Cache myCache = cacheManager.createCache(CACHE_NAME, config);

Then you could find register statics MXBean using the following method:

public static CacheStatisticsMXBean getCacheStatisticsMXBean(final String cacheName) {
        final MBeanServer mbeanServer = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();
        ObjectName name = null;
        try {
            name = new ObjectName("*:type=CacheStatistics,*,Cache=" + cacheName);
        } catch (MalformedObjectNameException ex) {
            LOG.error("Someting wrong with ObjectName {}", ex);
        }
        Set beans = mbeanServer.queryNames(name, null);
        if (beans.isEmpty()) {
            LOG.debug("Cache Statistics Bean not found");
            return null;
        }
        ObjectName[] objArray = beans.toArray(new ObjectName[beans.size()]);
        return JMX.newMBeanProxy(mbeanServer, objArray[0], CacheStatisticsMXBean.class);
    }

And if it is found enjoy your statistics:

CacheStatisticsMXBean CacheStatBean = getCacheStatisticsMXBean(cacheName);
            if (CacheStatBean != null) {
                LOG.debug("Cache hits #{} misses #{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheHits(), CacheStatBean.getCacheMisses());
                LOG.debug("Cache hits %{} misses %{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheHitPercentage(),
                        CacheStatBean.getCacheMissPercentage());
                LOG.debug("Cache gets #{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheGets());
                LOG.debug("Cache evictions #{}", CacheStatBean.getCacheEvictions());
                LOG.debug("Cache average get time {} milliseconds", CacheStatBean.getAverageGetTime());
            }
