SA wrap up Newlands win

Jones has been used less than any of England's other front-line bowlers in the Tests, despite impressing many pundits with his form.

"I'm not entirely sure why I haven't been getting more overs, I hope to be used more," Jones told BBC Sport Wales.

"I'm happy with my rhythm, though people like Geoffrey Boycott doubt me."

Jones said that he had been less affected than England's other bowlers by the punishing tour schedule.

"It's been a challenging itinerary, especially for the fast bowlers, but the others have been used more than me so I haven't been too bad," said the 26-year-old.

"We just have to pick ourselves up and try to win the last two Tests."

Jones, who has one year left on his Glamorgan contract, was non-committal on his county future.

He has been vocal in his belief that the Welsh side are not using him enough in one-day cricket, and is thought to be a target for a number of English counties.

"I've been in close contact with [Glamorgan captain] Robert Croft and [chief executive] Mike Fatkin throughout the tour," he said.
