Amy Ellen Jones is an English cricketer who plays as a wicket-keeper for Warwickshire, and made her debut for the England team in 2013.[1] She is the holder of one of the first tranche of 18 ECB central contracts for women players, which were announced in April 2014.[2]
Career

In April 2015, Jones was named as one of the England women's Academy squad tour to Dubai, where England women played their Australian counterparts in two 50-over games, and two Twenty20 matches.[3] A member of the 2015 Women's Ashes squad, she played in the one-day matches but was replaced in the squad by Fran Wilson.[4]
In October 2018, she was named in England's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[5][6] In November 2018, she was named in the Perth Scorchers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[7][8]
In February 2019, she was awarded a full central contract by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for 2019.[9][10]
In June 2019, the ECB named her in England's squad for their opening match against Australia to contest the Women's Ashes.[11][12] The following month, she was also named in England's Test squad for the one-off match against Australia.[13] She made her Test debut for England against Australia women on 18 July 2019.[14]
Upon the retirement of Sarah Taylor in late 2019, Jones became the first choice wicket-keeper for the England team. By then, she had already kept wicket in 42 of her 80 England matches across all formats.[15] In January 2020, she was named in England's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[16]
On 18 June 2020, Jones was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training ahead of international women's fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[17][18]
