About Jeff Jones
Born 1941. Jeff Jones is a British cricketer.
Jeff Jones (born Ivor Jeffrey Jones, 10 December 1941) is a Welsh former cricketer, who took forty-four wickets in fifteen Test matches for the England cricket team between 1964 and 1968. His son, Simon Jones, also played Test cricket for England.
First-class career Jones was born in Dafen, Carmarthenshire. Cricket writer, Colin Bateman remarked, "South Wales is hardly renowned for fast bowlers but in 1960 a powerfully built left-armer joined the Glamorgan staff and caused undiluted excitement. Unassuming and popular, Jeff Jones introduced a destructive force into Glamorgan's cricket it had never seen before." Simon suffered a serious injury that ended his England career at the same age as his father.
