A Midlands native, few will be more excited to represent Team England at Edgbaston than Amy Jones.

It was a local boys’ football team that gave Jones her first taste of sport, but she quickly made the decision to switch to cricket and has become one of the best wicket-keepers in the world.

She joined the girls club that her friends played for and made rapid progress, taking advantage of a link with Warwickshire and was on-trial at Edgbaston at the age of 13.

Within five years she was training full-time at the England Academy in Loughborough and was one of the first group to be granted an ECB central contract in 2014. Any potential clash with Australia could have added spice in the Jones household, with her partner Piepa Cleary hailing from Western Australia with the duo playing alongside each other for the Perth Scorchers in the Women's Big Bash League.
