Amy Jones’ Personal Details
Name: Amy Ellen Jones
Date of Birth: 13 June 1993
Batting Style: Right-handed
Role: Wicketkeeper-batter
Amy Jones has established herself as one of the most dependable figures in English cricket—a wicketkeeper of rare agility and a batter of growing authority. Born in Solihull, she was drawn to sport early, first turning out for Aston Villa’s boys’ football team before finding her true calling at Walmley Cricket Club. Inspired by Sarah Taylor, Jones sharpened her skills behind the stumps, her quick reflexes and clean glovework soon marking her as one of the finest keepers in the women’s game.
Her domestic journey with Warwickshire, and later Central Sparks, laid the foundation for international recognition. She made her ODI debut in February 2013 and, though initial years were marked by inconsistency with the bat, her transformation into a reliable top-order option reflects her resilience and hard work.
Amy Jones’ International Career
In the 2013 World Cup she featured only once, scoring 41, missed selection in the 2017 triumph, and endured a lean 2022 campaign with 148 runs in nine matches. Yet across 103 ODIs she has built a strong record: 2 centuries, 14 half-centuries, 2439 runs, and a career-best 129. Behind the stumps, her tally of 87 catches and 22 stumpings underlines her assured presence.
The ongoing year, 2025, has been her finest with the bat, yielding 410 runs in just 8 innings at an average of 68.33. Leadership opportunities have also come her way, stepping in as England captain when Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt were absent, where her calm and composed approach drew widespread praise.
Now 32, Jones enters her second World Cup campaign as both a stabilizing presence in the top order and a trusted pair of gloves behind the stumps. For England, she represents more than a keeper or batter—she is the quiet constant whose consistency and sharpness keep the side’s rhythm intact.
