Speaking as the England team arrived in Namibia, Jones said that while he still had a contract, he was not sure if he would stay with the Glamorgan when it expired. "There's a little bit of doubt in my mind," he admitted. "I cannot be approached by another county because I am not out of contract, but there are options open."
Jones fell out with Glamorgan last summer when he was left out of the Championship side even though he had been released by England and was available. "I was not given any reason why I was not playing," he shrugged. "I was just taken along for the ride, really."
And in six seasons he has appeared in just 10 one-day matches for the county. "It is very frustrating not playing, because if you play a lot of one-day cricket it rounds you as a cricketer ... so I have missed out there," he explained. "I was just the drinks boy for Glamorgan. I was very frustrated because I would rather be on the field than carrying the drinks and I knew I should have been in the team.
"I am not saying I am going and I am not saying I am staying," he said. "I am just thinking about it and trying to do what is best for me."
