The Glamorgan paceman has failed to recover from the ankle spurs that sidelined him for the final Ashes Test.
An England and Wales Cricket Board medical statement said: “We have tried a number of measures to help Simon’s ankle injury to settle.”
The 26-year-old will now have surgery but it is hoped he could be available for the tour to India in February.
Jones was an integral part of England’s Ashes triumph, claiming 18 wickets, many of which were with reverse swing at a lively pace.
England leave for Pakistan on 26 October and play three Tests and five one-day internationals prior to Christmas.
Hampshire’s Chris Tremlett, who was also named in the 17-man tour squad, is another injury concern with knee trouble and he will continue to receive treatment. Chief medical officer Peter Gregory will assess Tremlett and report to the selectors, who will then decide on any possible replacement.
omg ggg calm down for gods sake its a forum …did u not see the lolz …its meant to be light hearted ;are we not allowed to express our views …
just cool it. and thank you to u too.
Obviously what else we can expect from a girl. They won’t ne knowing anything about cricket but will definetely be knowing all the players (I meant paki players only).
What’s wrong with this if she only likes watching Pakistan play? Just cuz she’s a girl she can’t even give a polite comment but you guys are free to show your ignorance every where. Idiots. Thanks for ruining the very beginning my ramadan .. sheesh.
Well no one here has the know it all attitude. Its just that after witnessing one of the best ever test series where english players were at their best against the world champs, its really hard to resist when you see such comments like english players such as flintoff and pietersen are boring.
Yes I agree that people have their likes and dislikes but here its not the case. I am sorry but someone here is really being too masoom or should I say ignorant.
do you know …its funny how in todays day and age you can be so sexist. what a stupid and anything but constructive comment. if you want to criticise put a valid point across . duh…i live in uk and have probs seen more english cricket even on a county level than you.
see my comments above …so sexist, narrow minded and dumb . why cant girls know as much abt the game as guys . its an opinion. and no i dont only know the players by name, it just happens i have been a fan of the game since ages.
exactly my point. it was just an opinon. guys think that it is only them that can know enough about the game. and whatever they say goes. totally wrong. its a sport and everyone has opinions on who they like to see play. i wasnt saying them players on the english team are not good players. i remember seeing flint playing county cricket in the early days at old traff. and remember wasim akram rating him and rec’mending him for the english team. so no i wasnt sying they were bad players, i was just saying that i dont find engl cricket enjoyable to watch as much as I enjoy seeing pak play.
*I do apologize if I offended you, but we have a history of idiotic fangirls coming here and posting nonsense. And please don’t feed me crap like “I have watched more cricket than you have, blah blah, etc”. Your comments on cricket do not validate such statements. Go watch some more cricket and come talk to us. Ta Ta.
P.S: If you want me to put valid points across about how the English players you listed are not boring, I will gladly do so. I just think you are not worth that much time. Really.*
