For now, though, Jones’ focus is on her domestic form and says it was “pretty nice” to set that new individual high-score record at Old Trafford – especially after losing a tight game to the same opponents days earlier.
“We lost by one run. I got 65 and got out and didn’t take that responsibility so I had that extra drive to see us over the line,” Jones said.
“There was a lot of determination to turn our season around in the that game.”
Jones is also “very excited” about the challenge of playing for a different team in this year’s Hundred after skippering the Phoenix last season.
Having not been retained by the Edgbaston-based side, Jones was picked up by Manchester Originals in the draft and is looking forward to playing more often at the ground where she made that record score.
“I’m really excited to go back up to Manchester. Obviously it’s a ground I love playing at and I’m really looking forward to the opportunity,” she said.
“A fresh environment is a good thing as well. We had a really tough year at Phoenix and being captain you take a lot of responsibility on yourself when you don’t do so well.
“At my stage of my career I still want to improve and play at the highest level I can.”
