Rhodes: Jones close to recall
Worcestershire's director of cricket Steve Rhodes believes that Simon Jones is starting to show the sort of form needed to regain his place in the England team.
The 28-year-old former Glamorgan paceman has impressed since moving to New Road and appears to have put his catalogue of injury problems behind him at the moment.
Rhodes told BBC Sport: "When he bowls well, he bowls as well as anybody.
"But he knows he has to get overs under his belt and take wickets to fight his way back into the England side.
"He has a wonderful bowling action and we have seen this year he can get his pace up to 90mph and has excellent qualities of orthodox and reverse swing bowling.
"He knows he has to bowl consistently well, as there are a lot of good bowlers playing for England and on the fringes.
"He'll have to take wickets, but I'll be happy with that, because that means he has taken them for Worcestershire."
