Profile
Rob Jones is a top-order right-handed batsman, who also bowls occasional leg-spin. Born in Cheshire, Jones joined Lancashire’s Academy team in 2012. He debuted for Lancashire’s seam team in 2013 and soon became a part ECB’s Elite Player Development Under 17s side.
Jones was named in England’s Under-19 World Cup squad in 2014 which was held in England. He was the second highest run-getter for England in the competition. Consistent performances for second XI in 2015 earned him a place in the Lancashire’s first-team.
He made his first-class debut against Surrey in August 2016 as a middle-order batsman. Luke Procter’s illness forced the team management to send the then 20-year-old at the top of the order in only his second FC game. Jones grabbed the opportunity gleefully.
In just his third first-class game against the eventual champions - Middlesex - Jones recorded his maiden FC ton, thereby becoming the the youngest Lancashire batsman since Cyril Washbrook in 1935 to carry his bat. He got to the milestone with a six over wide long-on and these were his words after that unforgettable knock, “Words can't describe it. I can't believe it. I love playing for Lancashire, I really do. It's a boyhood dream. I'll savour this, because it's pretty special.�
Jones didn’t enjoy success in the following season and he went back to the second XI, where he led his side to championship victory.
