Simon Jones misses out at both international and county level

The 25-year-old Welsh pace bowler became available after James Anderson was preferred to him in the Test side.

But Glamorgan coach John Derrick has opted for David Harrison, Alex Wharf and Australia's Mike Kasprowicz as his three seamers against Hampshire.

"There was no room for Simon. You can only pick 11 players," Derrick said.

"We are playing on a used pitch, which meant we played two spinners and three seamers.

"Michael Kasprowicz has come back after taking seven wickets in a Test for Australia, David Harrison is our leading wicket-taker and Alex Wharf has put in some good all-round performances."

England chairman of selectors David Graveney confirmed that eight-times capped Jones was fit and had been made available to Glamorgan.

The only way Simon is going to get back in the Test team is by playing Glamorgan coach John Derrick

"Simon Jones is fit for selection for Glamorgan. It was up to them whether they picked him or not," Graveney said.

"We don't put pressure on counties about who to play. We are not in the business of arm-twisting."

However, Glamorgan will almost certainly be under pressure to select Jones for the next game against Somerset ahead of the third Test.

The bowler has not long returned from a foot injury and Jones has admitted he needs to play himself back to full form and fitness.

Derrick added: "The only way Simon is going to get back in the Test team is by playing.

"We will have to monitor the situation after this match and talk about it."
