Jones picks up another injury

Published August 13, 2007

LONDON, Aug 12: Glamorgan and England's injury-prone fast bowler Simon Jones picked up a calf problem in the County Championship game with Northamptonshire. He played no further part in the match and will also missed Sunday's Pro40 game with Somerset.

Jones, 28, missed most of last season after knee surgery and has been little-used this year because of an inflamed knee.

The paceman is out of contract at Glamorgan at the end of the season. The Welsh side say they are keen to retain his services, but Jones is likely to miss out on a new England central contract, the details expected to be announced shortly.—Agencies
