Simon Jones played an illustrious role with the ball in England’s 2005 Ashes victory. The speedster grabbed 18 wickets in eight innings of four Tests and ended up as England’s second-most successful bowler in the series. Following the incredible triumph, he disappeared from international cricket.

The fourth Test of the series in Nottingham became his last appearance in international cricket. During the game, the pacer’s old knee injury came back and he got out of the series. Jones caught the injury during the Ashes 2002-03 during the inaugural Test at The Gabba, Brisbane.

In 2006, England visited India for three Tests and seven ODIs. Ahead of the first Test, he twisted his ankle while practising on nets. The injury prevented his participation in the series and he returned to England to see a specialist. This injury cost his international career as the Nottingham Test against Australia in 2005 became his last match for England.
