The ICC Women’s World T20 has come for Jones after a strong year in ODI cricket, where she has scored three half centuries, including 94 against India in Nagpur in April.
Laura MacLeod, Women & Girls’ Performance Manager for Warwickshire CCC, said: “Everyone at Warwickshire CCC is very proud to see Amy recognised by Sky Sports for her performances in the ICC World T20.
“She’s made great progress in the international arena and has now proven that she can deliver match-winning performances on the biggest stage. At only 25-years-old, she could achieve a huge amount in the domestic and international game around the world.”
Following the ICC World T20, Jones has now travelled to Australia to join up with Women’s Big Bash franchise Perth Scorchers, with the tournament taking place across December and January.
