LONDON, June 8: England fast bowler Simon Jones is expected to miss next winter's Ashes in Australia after undergoing surgery on his knee.
The 27-year-old Welshman was one of the driving forces behind England's Ashes victory last summer – when he was unavailable for only the final Test at The Oval – but he has played little cricket since then.
